No, I meant it merely as an illustrative use. Further, I did not want to bog
down the debate with so much verbiage.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help laughing when I read this. This article was
written years ago, then was rewritten and revised time and again by the
Wikipedia community. So how could it be written with just this discussion in
mind?

It *was* a Wikipedia article. So of course, wouldn't it look like one?

OK, I'll bite. How does it misrepresent practically everything it clams to
define? How could it be made more accurate and descriptive?

Or have you gotten so in a rut of formal thinking, which is used by almost
all religions, that functional thinking is opaque to you?
