My point was that Fred's position on "givens" has basically only been
discussed re: a) the single-system vs. dual system debate; b) relatedly,
comparison to "New Interpretation"; c) relation to "MEV" and profit rate
calculation. By discussing those themes it seems to be that we have been
discussing the _similarities_ in perspective between Fred's interpretation
and the TSS interpretations -- but not the _differences_ in
interpretation re "givens."
The issues that I believe deserve greater discussion are methodological --
namely, the perspective that the fundamental quantities in _Capital_ are
"given" and the _implications_ of that perspective. To get an idea of what
I saw as some issues worth discussing re this topic see [3698] and Fred's
response [3715].
