As I said elsewhere that was a lame attempt at a joke. My apologies.
No-one has been anything but helpful in this thread, I was just
reacting (a little) to the occasional characterisation I've noticed of
people as "lazy" - your term "pragmatists" is much less emotive. (And
it wasn't so much a personal reaction anyway, just an awareness that
we need to be careful how we express things to people struggling with
this)

Paul.
