Dear Esteemed Sir,

In the wee hours of the night, I am again impelled to write you.

Although you have not yet received a complete and comprehensive
overview of the problem, I believe I have sent you enough for your
basic understanding in my very first letter.

The subject matter is learning with certainty about causality.

Learning with certainty that two different events A and B are
causally related.

Causality is a bit of a red herring, because certainty of
ANYTHING is under question.

your whole position, it seems, is based on personifying objects. An

The circuit is 'open' or 'closed' using a switch designed to make this
process more convenient and safe. It, itself, is not 'on' or 'off'. It is
changed, usually, according to human design with human will to fit human
need. The switch itself is a tool and without intent or 'sense' of being
'on' or 'off'.
