Yes, I 'see' that THAT is what she is doing, as well.
My 'point' however was that 'pointing' to THAT is
not - i.e. it 'finesses' -
actually relating to their "personal stuff". Which 'finessing', I happen to 'see' as
avoiding genuine engagement (with their "personal stuff", as though the THAT which expresses ITSELF through them were the ONLY thing that is "important".

Only?
I don't at all 'get' this. I happen to think that the
only way to
really (as opposed to merely 'solipsistically")
relate to THAT which IS is
via relating to its 'itchy' (in many cases at least) re-presentatives.
Different strokes for different folks, of course. I just wanted to question the 'logic' of her choices by way of expressing what does and doesn't make 'sense' to
me.
