The final trick must be abandoning the categories when doing the final synthesis - otherwise one is apt to take them for absolute reality. I think the time has come where it is getting more insightful to insist upon the connection between meaning and form, rather than on their separation. The problem is that, even with the current speed of scholarly development, we almost never conciously see the synthesis produced by the effects of hypothesis and counter-hypothesis, which of necessity are often stated in absolutes.
