Self-evident Truths and Impenetrable Skulls
One self-evident truth is that bleeding a patient is poor medicine (patient is weakened or dies); another is that noise and volume are not substitutes for musical talent. Likewise, endless writing full of obvious untruths is not a substitute for effective, objective reviews of good writing that is factual, demonstrable, and effective. Poor grammar, syntax, and creative punctuation also don’t improve false nonsense peddled as truth [see a feeble attempt in one of last week’s Letter to the Editor].
To correct just a few examples of that disinformation: I do not support stripping women of their reproductive rights; What I do not endorse is killing one’s own living child, even yet unborn. The word for that is NOT reproductive rights.
