In that I will ever discuss specific notions of an author is unlikely because
of the inevitable 'white noise' my life brings to it, so specificity as to
Sawyer's opinion is solely left to him. My comment was speaking more to a
duality that is dependent and independent at the same time. For instance: my
thinking on sociocultural theory has been a phenomenon for me regardless of
Sawyer and now because Sawyer has written an article that I have read I still
have my independent sociocultural theories but they are inevitably going to
be linked in a dependent independence to Sawyer as well as the other
theorists I depended upon [LSV, Valsiner, Cole, etc.] for the formation of my
own independent views. Yes, you are correct in surmising that Sawyer's
perception of dual analysis is distinct from LSV's MDS but in MHO the social
phenomenon is a priori similar.

Rhetorical question #101: Is any of this making sense?
