Judge deploys Rumpelstiltskin metaphor for sixth time
- cafard 6y agoIs "jeremiad" really that odd? And "praxis" hardly seems unusual.
- curryst 6y agoThey are certainly not something the average person would recognize. Neither are terms I have heard before, but I'm in a constant struggle to get myself to read more. The complaint is that they're senselessly highfalutin. "Praxis" seems effectively synonymous with "in practice"; why would you choose to use a term that has a reasonable chance of being unknown to the reader instead of the nearly universally understood alternative? This is not a work of art, designed to be appreciated for their choice of words and style. This is a declarative document simply stating their decision and why. It should be written at as low a level of reading as is possible without being prohibitive. The choice of less common language serves as nothing beyond an impediment to readers.
