"As a one-time theoretical physicist, I find this quote from Gosden to be
out-dated, overly reductive, and incorrect, at least as far as the most
thoughtful scientists go."
Hmm. Well, there are thoughtful scientists who would immediately recognise in

OK, John, apologies. Mistakes were made. I was not feeling well. I now
recognize my "name-calling destructiveness”. I retract "sinomane”. Would
“sinophilic” meet your approval? As for “telecommunist”, you surely noticed,

As you say, 'Obscurity, especially in latin, is not a guarantee of anything.’
A training in Latin used to be regarded as a portal to the full resources of
the English language, which is in effect a post-1066 Anglo-Norman creole.
Historically this involved a training in “classics” (
