I don't speak a word of Italian but can hold a conversation using hand gestures entirely!

Rather by benefitting from selective pressure. "guided" is just an invitation, IMNSHO.

Everything's an invitation to nutters who want to see a magical hand.  We say that the stars can guide a sailor home, too, without any implication that they're thinking about it or intentionally doing so.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

True, but I tend to look for the words that have the least chance of confusing the fence-sitters. My home-schooled cousins are getting good at catching those. I suspect that stupidity isn't endemic in that bunch, giving me some hope for their future.
