note -- this is ALWAYS a good idea. especially when it's *me*
giving the assertion :)
reminds me of a high-school prof i had. he'd stop in the middle
of a lesson and ask if anybody knew the meaning of a word he'd
just used ("mote", for example); if not, he'd supply a
definition (small fly) and go on.
later we'd have a vocabulary test; any answers that parroted
what he'd said were always marked wrong, as he'd just made them
up off-the-cuff. (mote is a particle, as in gritty dust.)
double-check for yourself. don't take anybody's word for it.
KNOW, don't trust.
the best way to find out, is to FIND OUT.
