Listening to Dr. Seiler, I am reminded of Humpty Dumpty talking to Alice:

	"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 
"it means just I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
	"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so 
many different things."
	"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- 
that's all."
