     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.

 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?
