in thread Informal Poll: why aren't you using traits?

This is a placeholder for a full reply. I was just about ready to respond to this post when your other reply showed up. I want to take that on board and do some more reading. I will combine my response to both there so that this doesn't turn into a heterarchical* discussion.

(*I just learnt that word from one of your referenced articles. I hope I used it right :)

For now, I'd just like to say thankyou for your having taken the time to read both posts, and respond in so much detail. You given me a lot to read and a lot to think about, which is the prime motivation for posting anything more extensive than "See FAQ/Q.12345".

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
