Of course I can't; both within and between are necessary. But if you
mean that cultural venue encompasses the between but not the within
(otherwise it means everything, and equally nothing - it loses specific
meaning), then you must admit that storing this information so that
events might prompt it to be accessed is a cognitive, internal, non-
cultural-venue thing. So my counter-challenge is to explain how one
can remember one's own birthday in the absence of a brain. If you afre
as honest as I was, you must admit that you can't do so, either.
