The most extremist objectors, no, but I've seen very few people taking that extreme of a position. That wasn't my point, however; my point was about defining terminology so that it is clear what is meant (and possibly finding terminology that is not as readily subject to ambiguity or intentional misinterpretation), not - or at least not immediately - about modifying definitions to satisfy objectors. >> The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable >> one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

The ambiguity as to which side of the discussion this supports is very much intentional on my part. I personally think it probably supports both of them, in different lights. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
