You know my and Confucius's views on er mangling Language.. But human Language is indeed a complex, never perfectly specific, ever-growing nexus - we understand why translation is imperfect, is an art across the ages.

HTML OTOH - (somewhat like Sanskrit, its origin being intentional too, so as to enable some exchange of ineffable material a bit more successfully) - has *Standards* and deals exclusively in Boolean relationships: NOT ever - matters of 'opinion' and comfort with, "wouldn't it be nice if ___ were true, so it could accord with my personal hopes?"

Perhaps the atrocity known as This site best viewed with Web-Monopoly 5.77alpha is the stark indicator of the cost of intentionally- commercially-corrupted (mere HTML)-Language ? A red flag er Code Red, to coin a phrase.

Are we collectively (heh) Smart enough yet, to see the parallel of intentional corruption for Profit being congruent to, Goebbels's intentional corruption / named Propaganda / for the accretion of Power ??

I see these as perfectly cross-linked processes - much like Cantor's Alephs- 'nondenumerable infinities' (null and higher classes): 1:1 correlations across the board.

I suppose the next level of intentional incompatibilities shall have to run the course all the way to near inability to use a large chunk of 'the web' - before any concerted actually serious movement begins, to recreate and enforce actual Language standards.

Standards which demand compliance via - er BITE ('built-in-test-equipment', in electronics): if your header doesn't indicate passage of an imbedded quick-scan ~~ CRC test for Compliance within the body -- "[our browser] will not deal with your content and will send message to your server re Why". (Later on, send dup message to Org below..)

ARE we Smart enough. Yet?
