Or is it simply a problem of jargon? If the same words mean different things to different people, then it sounds like we're talking in riddles.

I think one of the big problems with this thread is we do have difficulty understanding each other precisely because we may be using the same words, but a different jargon...

HEX wondered how much he should tell the Wizards. He felt it would not be a
good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
as Lies-to-People.
