In our discussion of "lucid metaphors and charming analogies..." I was lost in the correlational to the point of the text.  I would like to know how "greedy and non-greedy reductions" simplify a story? The "universal acid" theory can burn through another theory if it is backed-up by newer empirical evidence.  Also, I never understood "skyhooks and cranes".  However, I think I understood "Bladwin Effect" to mean that we are all moving in the same direction to form a combined effect.  I think there are too many "charming analogies" that distract my comprehension of the point being made.  I am spending too much time trying to understand these analogies.
