Hmm … I didn't even notice this .. and if I had, my brain would have seen it as a typo !
I'm left wondering about the explanation, however …

Hmm .. once again, it seems that the label "phenomenological theory" could also be interpreted as a way of confining Classical .. and could also be seen to preserve what we've established as only a perception/historically evolved matter.

I think the language is a big culprit in creating this perception.

Very interesting .. and thank you to all, for such an enlightening discussion!

Cheers
