I've educated myself to the point where I can follow along a conversation that holds sufficiently advanced thoughts and logical constructs that should be good enough for Ms. Spivak to explain herself. Instead she resorts to overloaded terms that have a narrow sphere of operation - partly to ensure they become commonplace. I'm annoyed that she imposes a sneaky tax on my attention in order to further her hidden agenda. Cheeni
