So, if I understand you correctly, only "in theory" is Pointsman the
stand-in for unfreedom and Mexico for freedom, whereas "in pratice"
Mexico's method is more likely to result in the control which Pointsman so
desires.  Correct?

>>>>Yes, as far a Mexico is concerned, because quantum mechanics seems to be the WRONG theory to apply in the domain of human affairs. There
is still the question of where the Pointsman approach leads, which you
allude to below.  

but I don't see how you could perform the same reversal on
Pointsman.  I think that his binarism/behaviourism is equally controlling
at either the MACRO or MICRO level.

>>>Hard to see "another side" to Pointsman, something that would further subvert the binary opposition. Think we should work on it though.
