That doesn't have any relevance to the point being made. If a rabid
DOS user says that 2+2 is 4, that doesn't make it 5. I'm not saying I
agree or disagree with Andu's point, just that your rebuttal doesn't
address the point being made.
That said, we should still try to to come to a consensus on language
issues, in order to keep the language as useful as possible.
