I can give you the benefit of the doubt on that one, but from where I
sat (steeped in General Semantics) the discussions regarding language
were arguments by a bunch of monkeys as to whether to best use a can
opener for shaving ice or for pitting prunes.  Not real entertaining,
ditto informative.

A misperception/misdefinition on your part.  This channel isn't a
"group" or a "community" which is why I use it.  I don't "fit in" by
choice.  In fact, the very act of "fitting in" generally renders the
actor unfit for my attention, in my judgement.  Groupthink gives me
hives, along with the knee-jerk dominance games y'all seem to thrive
on.  For that reason I dropped transgen-l over a year ago and will
view subscribing to similar "members only" fora with a jaundiced eye.
The average simian nervous system goes even more haywire than normal
when it consciously seeks to limit its perceptions and inputs, and
that is the whole point of "orthodoxy": it translates as "We already
have all the data, we don't want to hear your zero-valued ravings, go
away."  And the universe often does...ask the dinosaurs:).

All that is secondary to the preposterous notion that the patient
knows more about the complaint than a trained scientist, (with the
correlary that organized research is part of a plot to deprive the
little person of his rights) and ought therefore be accorded equal
status in defining taxonomy and treatment.  But in todays empire of
ignorance, saying so is heresy, one person's opinion being as good as
another's, and soforth.
