Ooo! Look! Pedantry! How excitement! Phil tries to say "the primary purpose of the act of setting up the society is to allow us to open a bank account", but MJ rather naturally interprets what he actually says as "the primary purpose of the society is ..." and finds clear evidence of unmitigated hypocrisy. Will they ever communicate successfully? Can the bonds of ambiguity be broken? Will pride lock our disputants into an escalating cycle of incoherence, or will love win through? Find out next week, right here on debian-project! Cheers, aj
