I
meant "obtuse" in the sense that it is a gauche way to describe a
C.D.
Perhaps "deceptive" is too strong a word, but I'd still
call it misleading.
The
description was hardly pedantic -- providing detailed
classification
information without providing the most basic
information - THE NAME -
is
being unfair to tyro collectors who might be duped into
overbidding
for an
exciting new "Coconino County" iron.
