In our Monday night group the idea of multi-layered statements was presented.
We talked about how a statement could contain content from more than one area of the grid. Take, for example, "I don't really like science fiction movies, but I think we should go anyway because it's tradition for us to see a movie after Thanksgiving dinner."
'Opinion' and 'proposal' are both contained in the same statement. And if the statement were made following a heated debate about whether holiday rituals are important or not, the whole thing might actually take on a tone of 'sarcasm' if the speaker were, in fact, fed up with holiday routines.
Statements are not always one-dimensional. They can be quite complex, representing more than one area in the grid depending on content and tone on delivery.
