I'll have a stab at it.
Obviously, you disagree in your interpretation of emphasis.
Steven uses for both {neH} and {-'e'} something like
"focus attention", which makes sense, but William's point
is that one can "focus attention" indifferent ways.
Let's say you are looking at a picture on a screen.
Now, the operator wants to "focus your attention" on
a certain part of it. She could either add a frame
around the interesting part of the picture or zoom in on it.
The first option would correspond to using {-'e'},
the second option to using {neH}. (roughly!!!)
Does this help?
