Pragmatic/discourse theory would normally assign
the aorist to a foreground
and the imperfect to background.
I am fully in agreement with such theory.
The "stylistic" imperfect examples I gave a few days ago and such
backgroundings.
anyway, it is not healthy for students to have imperfect Greek verbs
referred to as 'foreground'.
