Such arguments typically claim that the relationship between a particular and its form is very intelligible and easily grasped ; that people unproblematically apply Platonic theory in everyday life ; and that the inherence criticism is only created by the artificial demand to explain the normal understanding of inherence as if it were highly problematic.
