I did mean that. You chose to focus on only one aspect of Jung's
multi-dimensional theory of the collective unconscious and to treat it
as if that was the entire picture. That, in my view, is shoddy
scholarship. 

On the Digāga issue:

I am fully aware of the "evidence". I acknowledge its role in forming
the received opinion on Dignāga's scholastic affiliations. That
notwithstanding, I do not think it is in any way productive to regard
Dignāga as representing the views of any school. Attaching scholastic
labels to him is a bankrupt enterprise. It sheds no light whatsoever on
his thought. It is his thought that interests me, not his real or
imagined affiliations.
