It's got sources, and there has to be some kind of correlation between the result and the sources. If there isn't then something is wrong. K> If you get no results, then you are doing something wrong. If you do, K> then you are doing something right. That's all there is to it- K> anything else is pure Dogma. perfectly right. Let's trash all the theory and build some nuclear reactors without. Sometimes, Khephera, sometimes your "Dogma" is necessary to harvest results later, sometimes _much_ later. You may know that something doesn't give results now. But how do you know that it will _never_ do so? A lot of nowadays important fields in physics used to be thought of as a waste of time - if your first sentence had been applied to them, todays technology wouldn't exist. sorry, your wrong/right principle is intuitivly correct, but applied to the real world, it fails. * Origin: MetaMagic (93:9200/3) SEEN-BY: 93/0 107/946 215/9393 666/119 1000/1 2630/315 9000/0 2 6 8 9001/0 SEEN-BY: 9002/0 9004/0 9007/0 9009/0 9020/0 9040/0 9060/0 9070/0 9080/0 SEEN-BY: 9081/0 9082/0 9083/0 9084/0 9085/0 9086/0 9087/0 9088/0 9089/0 SEEN-BY: 9090/0 9100/0 9200/0 1 2 3 7 8 12 13 15 18 19 22 77 200 9210/0 SEEN-BY: 9280/0 9300/0 9400/0 23 9410/0 9440/0 9600/0 6 9603/0 9605/0 9606/0 SEEN-BY: 9607/0 9608/0 9610/0 9620/0 9630/0 9650/0 9670/0 9680/0 9700/0 SEEN-BY: 9800/0 9900/0 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Falcon Area: MagickNet To: Khephera 1 Jul 96 10:42:22 Subject: words UpdReq I did not mark anything as wrong - and you know that I would not hesitate doing so if I thought it were. I only proposed to be careful with these things. Languages often _are_ connected, words get imported and exported. But in other cases a connection may seem to exist but there's really nothing there. Therefore, some caution should be used, plus the mage should be aware that probably he is constructing something. Perfectly ok, but one should _know_ which parts are one's own work and which ones are not. * Origin: MetaMagic (93:9200/3) SEEN-BY: 93/0 107/946 215/9393 666/119 1000/1 2630/315 9000/0 2 6 8 9001/0 SEEN-BY: 9002/0 9004/0 9007/0 9009/0 9020/0 9040/0 9060/0 9070/0 9080/0 SEEN-BY: 9081/0 9082/0 9083/0 9084/0 9085/0 9086/0 9087/0 9088/0 9089/0 SEEN-BY: 9090/0 9100/0 9200/0 1 2 3 7 8 12 13 15 18 19 22 77 200 9210/0 SEEN-BY: 9280/0 9300/0 9400/0 23 9410/0 9440/0 9600/0 6 9603/0 9605/0 9606/0 SEEN-BY: 9607/0 9608/0 9610/0 9620/0 9630/0 9650/0 9670/0 9680/0 9700/0 SEEN-BY: 9800/0 9900/0 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
