The logic of goats and the goats of logic

I concur fully with the concerns of my esteemed colleague, Moufflon Tony, as he draws attention in a previous post to the deficiencies of logic on its own to fully appreciate the goat and our relationship to ruminants. While awaiting his finely textured analysis, I venture only to say that perhaps we should be on the trail of a phenomenology of the goat.

But it seems that the goat itself may be useful as an analytical tool. The versatile ovicaprid may be used as an elegant machine (if such heartlessness can for a moment be forgiven) for information processing; merely by nodding, the goat enacts a gripping drama of data flow. Viewers of a sensitive disposition should note that the footage linked to contains graphic images of cardboard innards.

Thus does the goat again serve humanity.
