Hi Jack,
Poe now that's an interesting comparison. Your option on the horse question may be better I'll give it some thought. I'm trying to make it read like they are showing some certainty and than questioning themselves.

So, this is Plato's Allegory of the Cave. People are walking behind the chained people who see the shadowed representation of an object cast by the fire. They eventually are free, blinded by the Sun (following Plato's story here) and begin to see the world as it truly is. Instead of seeing the shadow they see the actual thing so it moves from questioning to certainty. All that said, yeah I might be getting too cute with the punctuation and syntax. I'll think it through.

Thank you again,
