From article <11104@venera.isi.edu>, by smoliar@vaxa.isi.edu (Stephen Smoliar):
" ...  The fundamental issue
" of understanding then becomes one of how agent A, with his personal set
" of schemata, can communicate with agent B, who may have quite a different
" set of schemata. ...

It's really quite a riddle if you insist that understanding
and communication are all or none affairs, and that schemata
must be wholly shared or wholly disparate.
