Good luck preserving your mental model if you require webmasters to spell Korzybski. I'd prefer they actually read him, though I won't hold my breath. Sorry to bother you by using a very long foreign name.

If you think it is this trivial to work out some 'alternative', why don't you come up with a few actual ideas and see what happens when they get a little peer review? Your idea, above, hardly makes first base, as Im sure you already realized when you added the p.s. So why not try inventing one that has a snowballs chance in hell of actually working?
