Can I have my degree now please?

My understanding of the word "semantic" was very reasonably called into question in a comment on another post.
My understanding of the meaning of the study of meaning was questioned.
The possibilty of meta-semantics arises.

1) I've gratuitously and probably erroneously used the prefix"meta-" and he word semantics.
2) I've documentary proof (in another post) that I've been involved in a process of successsful development through process of intense reflection for at least 7  hours.

This raises the possibility that I might already have developed enough to earn my degree.

If, in response to the question posed in title of this post,  I don't  get at least one comment composed of two letters, one of which is "N", I'll know I'm wasting my time writing all this.

The bad news---mismanaged expectations RANT

Also known as the post I may regret in the morning.
I love Authoring Principles, Design Practice and Ludology.
I do not love Design Principles.
Like dietary fiber it good for us but hard to get enthusiastic about and " gets in the way of" the fun stuff.
There.
Having slept on it for 2 hours I've changed this post.

The good news

Great Design Principles session today.
Loved the stuff about composition
Loved the posters.
Am really looking forward to the poster assignment (if I get a chance to spend any time on it with theprinciples assignment).
