You just described a good many philosophers and literary critics, I knew
that you had insight somewhere John O. Now, to get that insight turned
around. Pointless? yet compelled to respond. Behold! the intellectual in
whom there is no guile.

Of course, not every single intellectual share this trait but as
generalizations go, it is pretty descriptive of the intellectual
environment."

Well, with stipulative definitions like this one, the debate is over before
it's begun. Of course, it's pointless, too.
