Your rather insensitive and, well, passe, remark caused me to respond.  I
wasn't picking a fight with you, BD.  I was picking a fight with the
thoughtlessness of the use of "persuasion" to describe a physical reality.
That "persuasion" languages dates from the 1930's and before, and was a
weak thing even then and it was a part of the social divisions of that era..
