Some people don't get it about tech because they have to lug around the childish baggage of being literal; no doubt a vestigal defect in the herd.
Literalists dot the political landascape, to wit - taliban and evangelicals; crusaders and zealots to name a few.
Science rises on a bold new landscape of truth and beauty in spite of neocon nonsense, literalists, evangelicals, fundamentalists,... as Slashdot shines as a new tower on the web.
Allow me to think abstractly in the open here as an exercise in analytical thinking - for the fellow who would find "Sanctity"... What Slashdot meant was a call to write and distribute KNOWLEDGE in the public domain much as a RFC does when new technologies emerge (internet was born from a series of RFCs).
If that is not plain and simple enough - here again is what the intent of the article was. MAny people spend hours trying to slant articles towards god, religion, conservative agenda etc. and the author believes this is incorrect or not good. Simple. I believe this too.
Remember the "theory of evolution" is as valid an expression as the "theory of gravity". I am happy calling it gravity and happy calling it evolution. Some people still cling to the incomplete terminology of the early days of any given scientific research including gravity and evolution both of which are demonstrable in any primary school.
Interesting to watch as the self correcting errors of such people inevitable adjust their very own flight path.
I've had to give a few hard line "F"'s in some of my courses. The comments of StreetStealth, god what a cunning moniker (wink wink) receive an F for my course in science; s/he must repeat the course.
And also I'd make a referral to the campus psychologist for Mr/s Stealth, I feel this person's seething arrogance in quick reference to "idiot" and "Sanctity", both of which could be said to appear as psychotic - may be detrimental to his/her psychological well being.
