Notes on this bracket
Just a note on this bracket: There are a number of Idea Explanation relationships in this bracket. Although I put the main point emphasis on the Expl part of the relationship, I realize it is possible to see the Idea as the main emphasis. I don't think it affects the overall main point of the passage, however.
