I'm a lumper! Let's see ... can we put it down shorter and more to the point maybe ... Lumpers recognize things when they see them and have no problem accepting that reality cannot be approached as an exact science. Meanwhile, splitters are neurotic, by-the-book legalists who rely on human-formulated definitions - imperfect by nature, tendentious in character ... Yeah, that's a good definition, right? ... But wait, didn't I just do the splitter thing? Reboot, I take that back. On the contrary, we are pretty much alike! Indeed, "Unix" and "Unix-like" are alike, even! Try this (format "%.1f%%" (* 100 (/ (length "Unix") (length "Unix-like") 1.0))) It turns out, alike is an understatement! We are 44.4% _identical_! PS. For the record, that Elisp doesn't show that :) LOL -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
