So here you come close to my question about _Moby Dick_ -- in the case
of generic resources, the fiat resource as you've defined it comes
much _closer_ to the 'real' resource, but it's still not the same, I
don't think. If I'm right position C has more in common with position
B than you seem to think it does. . .
