	The original article said something like "is man naturally
polygamous?"  After reading that sentence, I wasn't sure whether or
not the author was referring to men, or to all people.  I mean, it's
possible that men may be naturally polygamous and women aren't, or
vice versa.  So the usage was in fact ambiguous.
	Oh, if only I could reach the level of rationality that you
have already acheived.
