-------------- HUMOR ---------------
BACKGROUND & UPDATE: This challenge came up as a result of a 3 year quest. Two years later the questions have been addressed, written about and published in the book: THE CRAFT PERFECTED
------------------
A group of candidates have confusion. They tell you their lecture says
"perfect ashlar" but several have identified excerpts from Prestonian
lectures stating the "smooth ashlar" as one of the jewels.
1) You
are tasked with tracking down a FULL and COMPLETE version of the actual
Lecture where Preston uses "smooth ashlar". Do this.
2) You are
tasked with explaining, based upon his lecture, the difference between
the smooth ashlar and the perfect ashlar. Write up the explanation.
3) You are tasked with finding out the source of Preston's smooth ashlar reference. Find it!

"My
magnificent master and great friend of many years ago, Heinrich Zimmer
(1890-1943), had a
saying: 'The best things can’t be told: the second
best are misunderstood.' The second best are misunderstood because, as
metaphors poetically of what cannot be told, they are misread
prosaically as referring to tangible facts."
– Joseph Campbell
