TomK - I don't see
Since we're just extracting text from larger semantic blocks and then failing to subsequently understand the overall gestalt, I think this fragment is also worth considering more deeply. One fascinating thing about Philip K Dick stories like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep/Blade Runner or Scanner Darkly, is they often center around individuals who struggle with understanding what they find to be confusing elements of the world while everyone else seems to do fine making sense of the same. Frequently this leads to novel insights about oneself and the nature of perception and reality.
You may be in an interesting place to better understand this perspective, maybe even contribute to the genre? Or find a modern day Oliver Sacks to have a chat with? ("The agnosiacs perceived the president's words without understanding them, and found them illogically structured, with one remarking that "he does not speak good prose.")
Sorry Mod2, going a bit off the plantation, but as TomK seems intent to wander into confusion over his eisegesis versus exegesis, figured a sidetrip might be tolerated on this meandering drive to somewhere, hopefully a brighter place with a clearer view and a more stable atmosphere, if only an unblocked road can be identified that gets us from here to there.
