I usually ignore the questions I find incoherent myself, and like you I
am surprised when they can be answered. But the ones that I can't
imagine being answered by those with even the greatest intuition and
patience? I figure some response is better than none, and that's what
this question would have gotten otherwise.

I only responded a couple of times before I killfiled the thread, which
is what I should have done to start with. But I don't think it should
have passed without comment (not necessarily from me).
