@MK sure man, I'll PM that to you if you'd like.
True F&F but your hand does not register 200 degrees celcius, right? Instead it registers "Ouch! Hot!" There is a specific sensation that heat has... and a specific sensation that cold has... just like the color "blue" has a certain appearance. These are the mind's interpretation of color and temperature. There is no equal sign between the SENSATION of warmth and a thermometer reading. That's what Locke and Hume call a "secondary quality."
Shape and size are different. Shape is a "primary" quality because it is not the result of the interpretive powers of the mind... it is a direct representation of an actual quality of the object.
