exactly so
& thanxxx for all these various indications & corroborations

naturally de facto tripoints wouldnt necessarily be marked &
neednt even be accurately mapped
but might just be mutually acknowledged & observed by troops
in 3 different uniforms

indeed such multiple recognition or else equivalent neglect by all
parties could well be the only possible ways of recognizing the
truest or most putative locations of these tripoints on the ground

& the visible trifinia might be just as likely to take the form of little
triareas or fence or wall connections etc as exact tripoints

but i dont think they could be entirely chimerical

i mean i think they must really be there
at fairly coherent consistent & recognizable locations
& we do keep getting closer to actually sniffing them out
& hopefully we will succeed even further before they disappear
since they are after all such rarities & curiosities
