Al, honestly I understood less than a third of this. I got it at first ... but less than ... (I don't know, maybe a tenth) of the way through you began to lose me.
I tell the guys I work with "If I'm in a room with a bunch of you guys, you can pretty much bet I'm the dumbest guy in the room." That's not false modesty. That's realism.
Regardless, I'm not stupid. Well, sometimes I am, but generally, I'm pretty smart. Much more than average ... probably smarter than the average mensan, but maybe less smart than the average ISPEan, if that makes a difference.
I get the feeling from this link that the material consists stuff that someone really cares about - and has gone to pains to make accessible. For your edification, I'd say I'm "above average" (not that that is saying a lot) and I had a dickens of a time following it.
