Not at all. That we once established that there was "a simplistic
oppositional relationship" and now realise there are at least three
possibilities is a sign of learning, if not more knowledge.

Drew:
Doesn't the revelation of this binarism (to oppose or not to oppose)
undermine catgorizing it as a meta-opposition? Too circular for me. Once we
establish something as being confined to a simplisitic oppositional
relationship, it kind of does away with the need for a discussion of
meta-oppositions. In either case, "meta-opposition" itself would suffice,
since it implies an oppositional thinking of oppositions;
"meta-opposition between opposition and non-opposition" would see to be
redundant, would it not?
MantaRay, thinking out loud
