I suppose we go round and round like a “Zoo of Dogs”! No one really knows what it means – as the use of language adopts a rule all of its own. Academic niceties appear to make way for non-academic “un-niceties” whatever they may be. Westerners collect their (dead) facts and line them-up – assuming status from the length of the line (they establish “king-aligners”). Nothing is proven or achieved – but they are happy with their contrived peaking-order. No self-respecting bird will have anything to do with this kind of superficial ordering. And who can blame them? If you want to genuinely lose your mind – then try to read the articles linked above. It is like looking at your reflection in a well – and forgetting not to topple in! Good luck.
