    This is a protocol, you can’t memorize the reason behind every protocol you can only incorporate it into routine otherwise you would have to memorize a set of encyclopedias that shifts like aand on a desert.

      What do you mean by protocol? I mean I understand your analogy, but not what protocol is an analogy for.

            protocol isn’t an analogy. it’s jargon.

            if you’re doing the “i’m pretending to be stupid” thing, referring to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion or whatever that bullshit was called, we don’t have to cede all of language to nazis just because they speak.
