Except that even those who *have* experienced it may enjoy defining and categorizing it, just for the sheer fun of exercising the intellect. (Also note that the proposed definitions and categorizations in this case Barry was only too happy to go to considerable trouble and length to trash in an attempt to defend *his* position that defining and categorizing is a function of retarded spiritual development--as compared to his own, of course.) > I guess that's what makes them > happy, and if it makes them happy, cool."
