   I get a kick out of how people think they're going to   
   reveal some external reality using words, and then their   
   offering turns out to be just so much " is ", which reveals to me nothing about an   
   external reality while telling me a lot about how an   
   individual believes words they know are related.   
      
   And yet they remain convinced they've revealed some   
   external reality to me!
