But Amos... I am not TRYING to prove anything--especially about oranges. I don't assert that oranges are imaginary... I am calling into question others assertions about oranges..(or some other fruit that only a few seem to have tasted. They tell me I just have to squint hard and 'allow' orangeness to permeate my thick skull, and I will grok the taste. (to coin my own metaphor)

In the meantime, I will have apple pie.
