When all things are broken down into "frameofreferencespeak", that is
tantamount to saying that communication is impossible, since, at the
ultimate development, nobody has identical frames of reference with any
other person, and if all meaning is nothing but a frame of reference, and
since no two frames of reference can be identical, therefore,
communication is impossible.

Consider it to be Xeno's Paradox of communication...
