Right. The be verb is overrated. Shit! I just used it. Oh well.

Yeah, it seems we can never really say something is something. We can only say something is close enough to something for our intended purpose.

I.e., there seem to be no truly straight lines or perfectly round circles. Tables seem good for putting food on, but some might also be used as chairs or something else. Is it really a dog or is it a representative of a continuously evolving species that started out totally different and will end up the same?
