I don't disagree with this at all. I think it is a
valid point - when you're dealing with hermeneutics
from an academic standpoint (and I am sooooo tire of
hermeneutics from an academic standpoint).
However, If I recall correctly, the origin of this
whole line was sort of an "if it works for you" kind
of post. THis doesn't really apply to that, as I see
it.
