Why assume that someone has written their own essay on such a topic?

After this commemt chain it comes across as both dismissive and arrogant.



Why did I assume someone has written an essay? Because he said so! Quoting:

> I do like his ideas (and I wrote similar things about platonic forms elsewhere)

What is dismissive about my interest to his write-up? (I'm sure it was a misunderstanding on your part, you don't need to apologize :-))
