I recall a Scientific American article (I believe it was in Mathematical Games or its successors) which showed that using a chain of synonyms about as long as what you are using here it is possible to create a chain from almost any word to its opposite. One specific example they used was "reliable" being shown through a chain of synonyms to be the same as "unreliable". I can't Google paper, but this statement reminded me of that. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
