Ahah! Someone else hs decided to test my reading ability.  So today I just go
with what is meant, not with what is said.  
A curious mind is certainly necessary, but not sufficient -- not the whole of
the necessities.  You also have to be able to understand what others say and
to communicate back to them -- minimally to notice if you don't understand
and ask about.  It now appears that we have been arguing an issue for two
weeks and one principal discussant has neither understood what the rest were
saying nor was able to communicate what he meant, since he did not understand
a central word.  The word is not even jargon, but an ordinary word used not
extraordinarily (I refrain from my rant about the educational system today).
