And I would deduce, from the myriad of mistakes we (all of us, every day,
in every way) do in fact make, that, yes, we don't. Instead it makes much
more sense that we 'store' some way of getting to make one. And we often,
if not always (that's why it's nice to have books...) get 'em wrong.
Or is it just that we can't remember the propositions we've stored with
any real accuracy?
Things which effect the body are stored- things which are semantic (or
mindful, if you will) are generated.
