Dear Ross,

I believe this "conceptual simplification" is in most cases a very sensible
approach, and one that most biologists would readily and appropriately
defend by a statement that could read something like:

For pragmatic reasons it is important to keep things simple and immediately
relevant, enough for there to be a great enough chance of achieving usefully
workable results ----- i.e. results not necessarily workable in a way by
which a philosophically motivated searcher manages to put her/himself into a
state (always a self-regulatory state) of feeling "all-knowingly good".

"Sir Knowitall"

P.S.
I always try to put my best "FOOT" [Foremost Overview Of Truth] forward.
It is a fact of life that this sometimes means that I cannot avoid stepping
on someone else's "TOE".
