re: #183 b_sharp
I’ve agreed with the majority of things you’ve said here and I agree that because the idea is not directly addressed by removing a word (other words will indeed replace it) the vilification or de-normalization of a word is one aspect of de-normalizating the idea. De-normalization is always a multi-generation process so the appearance of the process being ineffectual by focusing on a word is frequently misleading.
Oh sure. It’s neither quick nor easy, but we’ve got to start sometime, right? Might as well be now if we haven’t already!
