Ben, Steven, and All ...

I may have missed a few posts but I don't understand the fuss about indices.
The types of signs are not in 1-to-1 correspondence with the types of objects.
You can refer to the same object by means of a pronoun or some other index --
for example, "Looky there!", "Voila!", or "I don't know what it is, but there
it goes again" -- or you can refer to it by means of a noun, or some figure of
speech with iconic properties.  It is simply a matter of convenience in certain
cases that we use an index or an icon when a more definitive symbol might take
a lot of work to fashion.

Regards,

Jon
