Who is twisting the question? The original question regarded the price of
Mind-Flipping:

RB:
"I know you often joke, but can you really be claiming that logic and
consistency are essential for a man to have a relationship with a woman? I
can think of ten other qualities that are more useful."

The original romantic story can be found in archives at: 06 Oct 1997
14:57:10 -0700. It was an illustration of how having "no fixed position --
just useful models that may be flipped among at will" may hinder one's
search for a fulfilling relationship.

Ten qualities better than logic and consistency are still a Level-3 mystery.
Keep flipping.
