When we are done creating the concepts, we evaluate their usefulness in understanding reality, and iterate the process, but if we lose track along the way of the difference between our mental constructions and reality, we are led to make unsupportable claims like "everything is unifiable". To me that position seems completely counter to the one you were advancing, so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on whether or not we agree!
KenG. I agree. pete
