   It is the job of Scientologists to deride psychiatry, not to tell the   
   truth about it, so it comes as no surprise that one of them would use   
   a quote like this. What is surprising is that Scientologists are   
   supposed to be very concerned about what words mean yet they exploit   
   even the most faint form of ambiguity.
