Wei,
    If you  take the ideogram T'ai 4, "big" and take off that little
tear-drop pecker stroke, you get Ta4 "man", then put him in a box, you get
Yin1 "argument". That is brilliant, isn't it? How did it get from "prison"
to "argument"? Just like with Pound,  eh? Some of us keep pulling him out of
the box to show a man, and you keep putting him back in. LOL
