>You need a slightly larger dictionary, my friend. No doubt about it, and more brain cells to go with it. Meanwhile, I use the tools I have. Actually, I first heard the word used by a "doctor" in my presence who didn't expect to have me stop him in mid pontification for a definition of terms. He probably needs a bigger dictionary too. Heck, he might even make a good piano tuner if he doesn't have too many brain cells to qualify. <G> (I'm not going to ask him) >The Greek root "idios", >in this case, refers to one's own and idiopathic would be "an independent >disease, neither induced by nor related to another disease; a sponteneous >or primary disease". An unknown disease would be just that, the >idiopathic designation would be more properly affixed after research proved >it so. Well that fits too, since I was talking about assessment after the fact, and the doctor I mentioned was too. The point of course being that the method isn't the product. >In an idiotic mishmash of almost definitions, one could say that we are >idiosyncratic ideologists ideally emparting idiotypical idiosyncratic >temperaments on idiomorphic instruments, eh? One could - possibly two. Ron N
