Hoi Bonk,
First, after I read both links, I typed a massive response, looked at it before I posted, thought better and deleted it. Today I have a little more pause. Thanks for the links, good reads.
I'll try to paraphrase the post I didn't post.
Measuring is a fine activity, indeed, before you cut measure twice, however it is of little use when one wants to understand existance or understand how the mind and body function.
Take care
