Sure....
By filling a post full of pointless words with no meaning, you make yourself appear no wiser than you are.
Sun Tzu was one of the wisest men I've read, and much of what he said was only one to three sentences long. Hell, fortune cookies wrap up what you've said in one sentence just as ambiguously as you have with two paragraphs.

Lables are neccessary for human thought, take these two ideas...

A soft fuzzy kitten, purring in you lap on a sunny day in a field of verdant green. Fluffy clouds overhead filling the azure sky with wonderous objects of imagination.

Contentment.

Now, which one gets the point across better?

One is more descriptive, but one is more efficient. American's are efficient, and that is why we continue to dominate the world.

Seb--The problem we have here is a failure to communicate. As long as you talk in such abstract circles, no body will, or will even try, to understand you. Speaking in plain English instead of pretending you are some sort of philosopher, would be of some help. Perhaps we are not, and do not want to be, on such a high and unsubstantial plane as you try to be.
