I can't agree, Huw. To do justice to explaining a scientific or any

Did you mean to say that, Andy? Hold a concept?
What is it that does the holding? I would call this the thinking process.
It's just an expression, Huw. It means that that same cloud can go on raining for a long time, generating word meanings and other actions one after another.
Seems fine to me, apart from 'book knowledge' which needs more pinning down. HuwBy "book knowledge" I mean conceptual content which orignates entirely independent of personal experience, received through social means via culturally produced artefacts. So we are talking here about an ideal-typical process of development which begins from a book, or from formal instruction, and in no way relies on personal experience.
