There's no point in trying to keep up with idiocy.
If you use the term "intuitive" like you did, one can only guess if:
- you really mean to imply something can be used successfully based on
knowledge that people are born with
- you just mean "easy to learn"
- you mean "will work as expected based on some specific past experience"
What's so good and defensible about this?
To Sorin: you only assume people do understand each other here. A lot
has been said that doesn't withstand even a little analysis and given
the terribly high noise level, it would be great if we could try to be
more careful, concise and exact.
