Actually, it promotes the idea that we are willing to
recognize humor
where it lies -- note that your definition of most of it as childish
is inherently subjective -- I often find the humor of the people
around me 'childish'. Since they are more mature than I, I must assume
that it is a problem with me rather than them.
Remember that one oft cited complaint about bureaucracy
is that it is humorless.
No, I have no problem at all with humour. Or humor. As long as it is
actually funny - but 99% of what's on the BJAODN pages is not. Not
even remotely so.
