I probably stated my concern badly, Glenn. I did not mean to assert that
there was a mathematical measure of meaning. In fact, that was precisely
my point. It was reading Yockey several years ago, and remembering then my
work in data transmission during my Air Force days, that I began to be
bothererd. As you said, Christians who use Yockey's stuff miss this
crucial distinction. (I was one of them--and, frankly, still would like to
be.)

This is exactly what I had in mind that bothered me! Thanks for making my
point better than I did!
