At this point, I think it more resembles lying to children about Santa Claus. I don't understand why people do it. I feel no need for subsequent generations to recapitulate my mistakes. I may have learned something the hard way, but I have little interest in encouraging or participating in what amounts to a de facto practice of 'cogitational embryological parallelism'.
