How? Firstly, do not commiserate poverty. I think you might mean something else. I hope.

Not sure what you mean by 'high contextualisation'.

I put ballet dancers on a par with accountants, scientists, and (above) politicians. Not above scientists et al, you mind, on a par.

The question specific to IA being pursued and my role here is to do with questioning the somewhat regimented reaction on this forum. I have already said 'context' is critical. And blanket change never works, evolution, not revolution. There are considered views that aught to be seen by people other than the converted.

>I have already said 'context' is critical

That's what I mean by high-contextualisation!

There are discussion cultures where it's okay to talk about just a thing in isolation with the understanding that we're putting context aside (low-context), and there are cultures where it's important to be very explicit about the context (high-contextualisation)

Both can be completely okay, but it's something to be aware of when someone wants to discuss a specific point, and someone else thinks the context is more important. Otherwise we're just talking past each other.

Thank you. On a public forum I/we know how conversations quickly become diluted/inflated/twisted and often for the most innocuous reasons. As I follow the IA story, a subject that has been around many many time before, I wonder why they have chosen to highlight this one, as presumably they are challenged on a regular basis.
