rson.  If you ask me to
define or to explain some problematic concept or term that I foist
on the discussion, and if my response is stated in terms of eleven
or twelve rather more problematic concepts or terms, then you will
immediately "smell a rat", as they say, and demand that I try once
again to reduce the total complicity of what I tender as definiens.
Thus, a person does not escape the charge of a circular definition
simply by placing primes on the recursed subsequent appearances of
the symbol or term
