The makers of fine distinctions had gathered at our language's central coffee shop, but the big talkers were feeling crotchety. A circular argument ran away with them, and they thought they were being witty by making one word do double duty; thus they cursed us with a dreary pairing, that yields no insight when delved into. If I love 'being out in nature, ' that is aesthetics--- it's a response to being in the natural world--- but 'getting to the bottom of human nature' is for those who posit essences of things.
