Just because the horizon exists doesn't mean every path toward it is equal in value. Logical fallacy aside, you seem to agree that improvement as a species is a worthy goal, and maybe even a personal obligation to promote such.

Language works a lot of ways. Don't let laziness and cognitive ambivalence hold the reins of linguistic morphology.

    I'm sorry, did you just imply that wetness depends on observation to exist?
