Replying to LO21063 and LO21007

I've been busy (wholeness), so haven't had opportunity for supplemental
reading (spareness) about "Ostwald digestion" which I look forward to
doing (otherness) anyway (busy or not) when my analytical chemistry book
arrives. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to link "tyranny of
experts" to competition.cooperation.predator.prey (fruitfulness).

I'm often wary around "experts" (too much sureness). Now I know how to
formalize my tacit knowledge (liveness). Far, far too many times I've
found experts like predators. Even so, gratuitous hurt surprises and
disappoints me.

The Digestor model will be interesting (openness).

Grins,
