re: #162 Nyet

Last time I checked Word didn’t differentiate between such nuances.

True, and Word is hardly the sum of all English word knowledge (that’s why I have to add things to my dictionary occasionally - like the names of half the towns around here). Moreover, Mr. Stephens might not even have used Word. Or if he did, he doesn’t know what the little red squiggly means under a word (gee, maybe I should look that up).

Your mileage may vary, but my reading of Mr. Stephen’s article used the word the same way I’ve encountered it in the past: to discredit the scientific method, or to equate unreason with reason.
