It's probably not all that insightful, but I want to mention this observation (which came to me as I was listening to a sermon by a guy whose name I don't recall):
When you hear a person trying to explain a view that he or she disagrees with, you'll often hear him or her use words like "somehow" and "some kind of".
That strikes me as a bit of subtle, disparaging rhetoric. It seems meant to imply that the concept being explained is convoluted or half-baked or just plain nonsensical. Not always, of course, but if a person doesn't fully understand another viewpoint, then he or she should say so up front, I think. Otherwise, I expect that he or she should accurately, fully explain the view. And I think it's very rare that a person (especially a theologian) would explain his or her own view using those "somehow" words.
So just for fun, next time ya'll try to explain a view that you disagree with, see if you can do it without using those words.
