Bill, I do not see where I made a leap. John wrote:

Does this not clearly say "if you are not knowledgeable about something,
you oppose it"? I merely applied it to languages as an example: If you do
not know French, you are anti-French, etc.
He has also made it clear in another post ("no hot or cold, you are with me
or against me", etc.) that he feels that if you do not actively support
metric, then you are against metric.
I believe, and clearly some other list members agree with me, that is
flawed reasoning. I also believe it is counter-productive to our
metricating this country.
