This confuses me, Ian.  Would you please and kindly point me to some
rhetorical wit of quality that would support your assertion?  I've heard the
claim before, but I'm not aware of any within my experience.

Nor much logical rigour, for that matter.

I mean, I don't want to be judgmental at all. But that concept "judgmental"
swings both ways, even though people don't object to it usually in the
positive sense.

"That John is a great guy!"

"How do you know?  Don't be so judgmental."

Judge - Mental... heh.
