Kerchink  . . . . . now I get it.

Ref WW World P107. I realise now that a polemicist must be somebody  
who provides a brick wall for others to beat their heads against.

We are clearly blessed hereabouts by the presence of one capable of  
olympic standard polemicism. Previously I had understood that involved  
elevation to a great height in an apparently precarious and  
unsupported manner.
