Yes, I remember those halcyon days.

As I recall, an off-hand comment of yours about the impossibility of conveying in full one’s meaning sparked that one.

Good times.

Yeah. I said that there’s no literal meaning for “The door opened”, because the phrase doesn’t contain information about the door, or how it was opened, so the reader has to naturally fill in some elements to the scene. It was my denial of literalism; you appear to remember it, and yet still be capable of saying I’m literalist.

How does that work in your brain?
