Mike,

First of all don't say it is a pity its patronizing.
Maybe you have missed my point.

I see by your signature philosophy is where your focus

No, It is the opposite, information being projected
onto the "baseline". 
I do not agree with the term un-augmented, to me by
using that word the body becomes an isolate.
