Of course it is, along with its ilk, partly because of instructors who learned by recipe and couldn't write down a predicate if their lives depended on it. Makes it easier for them to pretend they aren't copping-out along with the rest of the industry. ER is so lacking in theory that it's not even a model but most everybody pretends it has substance, just like the Emperor's new clothes. Received on Wed Jun 10 2009 - 00:56:38 CEST
