If but/"but's" generally tend to be seen as "different 
enough," (say?), then ... But/"but" I tend to suspect 
that, depending on how we humans interpret 
between the lines of life, in general (ie, not just 
between the lines of things like Theosophy, Zen, 
but/"but's," etc), then ... Hmm ... That is, not that we 
all don't "know about a lot of things," but/"but"... 

I thought the quoted "but" in that combination 
might have some appeal for those who might 
(occasionally?) prefer to allow for whatever forms of 
alternate, mystical, occult, esotericy, etc, "less 
obvious" or "possible meanings" (ie, "in case such 
meanings may not be always seen as 
definitinely-enough covered or as obvious enough" 
by a one's "possibly more-apparent intended 
meaning" re one's "conventional, more obvious 
but's," so ... Of course, on the other hand, if 
whatever we exoterize, by whichever 
word-combination or method, is exclusively 
interpreted in dead-pan/literal exoteric terms in the 
sense that if the imaginative, speculative, intuitive, 
or "bridging results" ("toward speculative/inspiry 
alternate/higher" meaning, say) of our 
interpretations often tends to fall back kind of flat 
on their exoteric faces, as it were 
(occasionally?)---without even as much as having 
had some kind of esotericy "bridging/higher effect," 
say---then, well ... Not that ... But/"but"... ? 

Speculatively,
Mauri
