Oh I didn't say it's no better than others. Not at all:
   *
   What I'm saying is, in a TRULY absolute sense, they're not
   foundations.
   *
   HOWEVER, from a pragmatic/practical point of view, they can be
   considered, "as-if" foundational.
   *
   In short: They work very well.
   *
   But it is akin to the difference between 0.0000000001 and 0:
   *
   We can treat them 'as if' the same, but they're still not. This
   doesn't invalidate them; what's to invalidate? But it leaves
   room open for future changes to the systems, to prevent them
   from becoming fully absolute dogma.

   unrelated: Videography and music is fantastic. The colors just
   "pop". As I watch these things, I usually imagine the film crews
   on boats, helicopters - a big mess behind the camera. But then I
   saw the insect. I had to stop and comment. All my resistance to
   being caught up in beautiful imagery and music just fell away
   right there and I let myself absorb the whole thing,
   back-erasing the earlier skepticism of tourism films. Yes, this
   is stunning and very well done!
