Didn't you just surmised something about me? We all surmise something behind words, when reading. It's up to Phil and Co. to see if the shoe fits.

I said how you will " seem to surmise " ... etc. So I did not declare anything about *you*. I was, however, interesting is smoking out a bit about your tactics. And you seemed to have clarified that for me. It *seems* -- if I am surmising correctly -- that you will challenge someone with some statement bearing an " accusatory " undercurrent (or over-current:) just to see how they will react. In other words, you don't actually believe you have " psychic powers " , but rather act on hunches, throwing out a statement declaring your hunch as if were definitely true, and then find out more by how the reaction unfolds. It also " seems " that I am doing something similar with you here... ;p At any rate, such is my conjecture. All rather fun, do you think?

They expect to be understood and approved and that kind of surmising they view as valid. If the surmising results in disapproval, then they say surmising is invalid. It's all fun, a game. For a game to be a game winning can't be certain. The possibility of both losing or winning is what makes a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The possibility of both losing or winning is what makes a game. ~~~~~~~~ I see your point about conjecture being an " issue " if the conjecture is one of disapproval. As for fun, a game... You added game, I just said " fun " . Care to surmise what I'm surmising? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
