I do. Here we have a legitimate and deep disagreement. It's your refusal to 
acknowledge or recognize this basic tenet that I believe clouds your 
understanding of Nagarjuna and his project.

>> If that were not the case, MMK would have been unnecessary.

Flippant, but Exhibit A nonetheless.

> So your claim is that Nagarjuna was unable to free himself from
> svabhavic thinking. Good. I think we are finally in agreement.

Very funny.
