Well, anyone who can make *that* obnoxious of a pun can't be all bad :-) :-)

Anyway, I don't agree about the merits of operationalism (if that's the right
term). I find it to be very useful.  In fact, I think some of the failure of
the discussion of QM in more general (and less operational) terms here on
the net is a minor, but relevant, example of the merits of this point of
view.
