Context "slog" - the mathies are still upset apparently.
But IIRC I dealt with it though, and quite thoroughly I might add,
in that "lack of progress bars" post earlier in this thread.
That out of the way I don't understand Steve how a couple
late offhand comments apparently inspired you to comment
on the original post, which you appear to suggest lacked
context. It had a link to a talk page discussion - an involved
description I did not give here because, well..
Anyway that debate at [[Talk:Perfect crime]] is on the back burner.
I've said all I have to say on that there, namely that:
1) a literary superlative+concept does not a special well-defined article
make:
1a) such that it be considered a formal well-defined concept
1b) such that it exclude relevant, linkable concepts.
2) a conceptual_negation+concept(~aspects) opens the door for
~negated_aspect:
2a) to be at least mentioned.
2b) to be defined in relative context.
Fanciful anti-theistic inconsequentialism apparently has its defenders
though.
