When it comes down to it, it's all just like Marx says, a way to pacify yourself. But, let's face it, there's way too many things to balance up for our little greasy grey biocomputing systems (and their IO, aka the body).

Maybe what you are missing is that you don't have to reason about why you should not be afraid, but rather, confident that when you must, you will find the solution because your eyes are clear.

In which case arguing about how to describe it is kinda stupid. From both sides.
