And interesting word "sylopsistic." I couldn't find it's meaning . . . maybe it means accepting the obvious errors of the past.
Sorry - "solipsism". I hadn't used that word in a week or two and tried to dust it off.

: a theory holding that the self can know nothing but its own modifications and that the self is the only existent thing
also : extreme egocentrism

A word may mean one same exact thing in every instance. But it may not. You and Tyndale may agree on one position. I don't. Doesn't mean either is right or wrong. I just think that context clearly drives meaning. Context is not always identical, nor is meaning. Words can't capture meaning, but they can approximate. We should at least try.
