With the greatest respect, given that this has generally been (in my
opinion) a very interesting exchange, this is now getting a bit silly -
am I meant to respond to 'Why draw?', or 'formal problems', as 'opposed
to a problem'?
Frankly, it's too late and these questions seem to be glib reactions,
rather than considered inquiries (don't ask me to define the
difference!).
I know, these are the things I should ignore, so please have a go, at
least, to offer an answer, or move on.
Good night
David
