Yes, why insist on using the provocative terms when there is
a dry technical vocabulary? I suppose my feelings here are
due to the way these emotionally contaminated words take the
place of intellectual arguments in public and private
debates. I would hate to pay a tribute to that practice by
giving up the most expressive part of my language.
