Dear Alex, thank you for your kind reply, it also give me the opportunity to clarify my question "are you serious ?": Alex Hoffnung wrote:
Hi Eduardo,
You asked, in full: "Seriously, do you really think so ?"
Earlier you asked, in part, "What happens with readers which see "x" and do not belong to our group ?"
You pointed specifically to the the word "evil", which seems to be driving this conversation. I answered that the reader could go to the nLab. At the nLab the reader can either read about the term or take part in a discussion concerning the term. Even better, the group of people who most often use this term might be hanging around to discuss the term with the reader!
Other than pointing out that the confused/interested reader could read about and discuss the term, I don't think I made any other claim regarding use or introduction of terminology.
yes, but I never said you made any such claims
So, I guess the answer is yes, of course, I am serious. Did you have some reason to doubt my sincerity?
Well, I do not doubt your sincerity at all, my question was because i could not believe you were so much a gullible dreamer to believe that people outside the subculture will look anywhere to find the mathematical meaning of "evil".
Best, Alex
