I too really appreciate the keeping-on-changing-lines-in-the-grocery-store-and-never-reaching-the-checkout metaphor.  If there be no checkout counter in the grocery store of inquiry, or if the fact that some people make/work at/or need checkout counters needn't exhaust the meaning of groceries, then it seems to me (by the so dim light of my scant knowledge of logic) that Hegelian synthesis is not what I am after, since that looks to trend into another checkout counter.  I was wondering about how endlessly differing standpoints might be "programmable" -- but maybe the answer was here at home all along.  Maybe novels, plays, and poems are the forms I am looking for.
