At the risk of being superficial, I don't think this position is
a trillion miles away from Tim's set of blitzes. It's a paradoxical set:
None of the members of the set makes a good reference position in itself.
But, if you put them all together, you get a good reference _set_.
Reminds me a bit of trying to exhibit a well ordering of the real numbers --
You can't but AC shows that there is one.

Hmmm. I wonder whether this activity of referencing blitz positions will
lead to right answers?
What's the cube action here?
