holding sharp-edged ontologies cuts up your mind like barbed wire; they require conceptual handles to wield properly
discrete binary distinctions can be the most dangerous type, and should be handled with the care this sharp an analytic scalpel deserves; mind the soft extremities of reality lest you carelessly amputate them
