Excellent point! I concede that there is something wrong with the
system if we cannot discuss certain topics without going into an
infinite loop. My choice to avoid these endless discussions is not the
ultimately best answer, but I can't think of anything better. It is
like a program that keeps crashing. I know it shouldn't crash, and I
know we should be able to fix it. But for now, it seems pointless to
keep allowing it to run and hang the whole system. Eventually, we
should find some way to fix it.
