Words, whose employment depends on human beings, do not reveal [real] things, [they] trigger the arising of concepts according to habituation; [so] pondering their employment and establishing on that basis what is real... is nothing but a demonstration of stupidity. - Dharmakirti

Mine was a misreading, then. Sorry. I mistook your quoting qua 'This assertion is interesting, and I think it is or could be true', and not '...but I do not think it is true'. Part of me still thinks you meant the former. Apologies if I err (again!). No reply necessary, pace.
