I suggest you not go there (like, ever). This statement is at least arguably false on several levels, and its truth value really depends on the definitions of some terms that at best have been somewhat fluid over time or variable depending on what "authority" you use... It's more the matter of religious dogma than technical or literal fact, and practically speaking, it matters not at all... All but the most neophyte of readers (and probably most of those even, I would guess) will understand what was meant. -- Derek D.
