I thought that was your bent, and I was a little surprised about your
even talking about conceptual memes. :-) You did seem to be saying that
only false statements could be memes, rathen than saying that *no*
statements are memes (except as behaviors, OC). In that case their truth
or falsity should be irrelevant, no?
Best,
