Jed.
Count me as not convinced.
Reading is not a mere decoding of letters, which may have been a good thing in
Gutenbergs time, but has to be assessed anew everytime.
Think Apple/Jobs and its strange restrictions on freedom of the word through
filtering.
Quite Orwellian, that.
Why not filter out LENR, LANR, Cold fusion and the like.
This is nowadays a simple decision by Apple, Google Facebook and some deciders
in the background.
The effect would simply disappear, by a proper choice of sematic -ahem-
treatment.
OK?
