Joe, it might have been kind to the congregation to note that statements about the nature of truths are relative to a quasi absolute (no matter how poorly defined) theoretical metaconstruct (the map). Statements about observations (the terrain) are relative to the observer (from a particular perspective). Thus these two kinds of statements, while seemingly congruent, are members of completely different classes of objects, are qualitatively different and attempting to compare them is utterly invalid.
Which, of course, would have dealt with Rhinoceros' confusion on this issue.
As we see, it is not too difficult to neutralize the arguments which Fish so signally failed to address - but from what we saw here, it appears that Fish could not develop an argument that would get him a drink in a brewery.
Regards
Hermit
