What a comparison ! How many people were that time (1632) busy with astronomy in their everyday life ? And how many thousends of people today dance tango in their everyday life ? This changes the question of what is the opinion of the majority ...

The tango today (with some, fortunatelly not all, discussions in Tango-L) follows the development of the chritian religion - from Jerusalem to Rome (and all the heretics and also all the saints...) and than the Eastern Orthodox..., and the protestants... and the churches un the States (baptistes, méthodistes and so on ...) And all they claim to have the same Jesus !!! Oh, my god! Who is the next Tango-prophet?
Do we have a tango-problem today, that is like the difference between the introvert individual religious experience and the "who is right and who is better" in the question of the extrovert expression of this experience? Do we have two styles of tango experience (only) - introvert and extrovert ? 
(Please don't give me an answer - I have mine ...! And by the way - I like much the word "intellectualize" used above). Valentin
