| Because you're so keen on throwing the dictionary in the face of people, yet cannot find the right context in which a word is meant to be used. I thought I'd help you along a bit.

It was the correct context. The word was spelled incorrectly; and I know that you knew what the word was based on the context.

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |
