RE: Where we differ

If you give no truck to marketing terms then why do you constantly snipe that USB isn't "universal"?
Fair point. As a mathematician, you are no doubt familiar with Charles Dodgson/Lewis Carroll. Remember Alice in the Looking Glass ? One of the characters Alice met behind the mirror was, of course, Humpty-Dumpty:
'I don’t know what you mean by "glory," ' Alice said.
Humpty-Dumpty smiled contemptuously. 'Of course you don’t – till I tell you. I meant, "there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!" '
'But "Glory" doesn’t mean 'a nice knock-down argument,' Alice objected.
'When I use a word,' Humpty-Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'It means just what I want it to mean – neither more nor less'.
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things'.
'The question is,' said Humpty-Dumpty, 'which is to be master – that’s all.'

I find it hard to say whether fmak's incessant rants are as irritating as they are ill-informed or the other way round.
But perhaps it's just an optically-isolated illusion. In other words, there are no grounds for it.
