(Edit: I replied to the wrong poster or some similar mistake.) Disregard How can you argue against the author's immeasureable words/phrases like "very high", "low", "laziness", or "idleness", especially considering that you are relying on anecdotal evidence yourself? I have seen a bunch of tall trees Georgia, but my friend from California says they are small; which of us is correct? Who cares when the answer yields no useful, quantifiable information...

> How can you argue against the author's immeasureable words/phrases like "very high", "low", "laziness", or "idleness" That's not what's happening at all. Taneq is saying nothing about the relative nature of those words. They are arguing that the author is making an inference in the wrong direction. > especially considering that you are relying on anecdotal evidence yourself Talking about cultural roles is the opposite of an anecdote.

  Yeah, I agree. I think I made a mistake. I edited my post. I am not sure what my original post was referring to... embarassing. :)
