Yeah, whacking on labels and putting a face on it is dumb. It's trying to oversimplify things by telling a story.
It's like that stupid "five ways" thing. "Let's call this thing God". No, let's not. And also, let's not assume the thing in each of the five parts is the same thing either. That's even pretending any of them are sound, which they are not.
People are always trying to sneak in magical shit.
You know... I understand that feeling of wanting there to be magic. Being an adult can be kind of dull; there's no dragons and wizards and stuff going on. I understand the desire to pretend a bunch of amazing stuff is happening.
Esq: Thanks, I now have it hanging round my neck along with the garlic. I'll be OK.
