It is true that they may, indeed, have some extremely superficial understanding of the statement itself. But the definitions of the words are not the same as their functions within the statement, just as I am not the same when I function as a coherent member of a human collective. It is this simple subtlety that evades the attention of the inarticulate and even the well-educated, for the poison is so ubiquitous and commonly shared, that none have dared suspect or reveal it, and many of those who did, did so at the cost of their lives.”
