Sure is funny that the ex cathedra pronouncements and mandates of that OTHER international (or is it SUPER-national) organization never seem to generate dissent…
I mean, of course, the ISO. (I wrote about the interesting parallel between them and the papacy here.)
Sort of like that thing you posted earlier about the MIT professors protesting their school’s stance on phlogiston. I told a physicist friend and he laughed himself silly. (Well, actually, no, I did that.) One does not hear the word “phlogiston” very often these days – though when I was doing my PhD work in the early 1990s we had a very interesting discussion on the ether – and I do not mean (C2H5)2O or the thing with the six-byte MAC addresses… hee hee.
