"A" is the more intriguing to me, but both are not sufficiently in context for me to follow. I confessed, on the original thread, to wanting to be a professor and even to holding a Philosophy degree. Again, "A" is the more intriguing because it looks like an excerpt from an ontological discussion. One of those truly conceptual discussions that almost punish you for your knowledge of actual stuff. Concepts like space and time, are known to us only as relational concepts, and we do not have much understanding of them apart from their relational definitions.

Then again, some thinkers have even been able to collide those concepts with the notion that all knowledge must be 'a priori,' which of course, we have heard many times. Kant did the most wonderful job of this collision, by the way. In my humble view.

But yeah, Mike is illustrating a real thing. The opportunity to string multi-syllable words together to make nonsense that no one will admit to not understanding.

But I also have given some thought to an experience that may have impacted your view of college professors, Mike. The notion that several of them ganged up on you. It's interesting that several professors would just coincidentally, or in a deliberate and coordinated way, gang up on a student. Were you doing a good job as a student. That is, were you in listening mode? Or were you in a mood to deliver, rather than receive, an education?
