When kids stopped praying in school you could say the religious were being imposed on- OR you could say a long standing "traditional" imposition on those who do not subscribe to faith, stopped.

I'm more than willing to let the cathedra stuff go.

WRT obfuscation, here's what the OED says:

1. Dim (the sight); obscure, confuse (the understanding, judgement, etc.), stupefy, bewilder.
2. Make obscure or confused: deprive of clarity or impact.

It is unclear to me that the OED considers obfuscation to be intentional.

I don't disagree with your points in the post to which I am responding, but I found your earlier responses frustrating and obfuscatory. My opinion.

Now I'm really taking a break. See you in a few hours.
