More thoughts
Thinking about Saturday's Suzuki lecture excerpt where a student, me I am pretty sure, asked Suzuki a question I'll not repeat because it's the excerpt post before this one. I put in a DC comment at the bottom that, judging from his question, either he didn't understand my question, or he just wanted to make another point. Now I see it that he did understand the question but didn't want to be manipulated into agreeing with me or answering it the way I wanted him to, not letting me be satisfied with a pat answer. That's one of those questions that's really a statement. So he just went on to make the point that he was making before I asked it. That's how I see it now. -dc
