Go to Post I will never forget Dean's opening lines: "I want you to know that I am here under protest. I believe that everything you are doing here is repugnant and ethically wrong. And now I am going to tell you why..." And for the next 35 minutes, that is exactly what he did. - dlavery [more]

Nope, I still don't agree. Eric's definition is much too permissive. If the explanation had been "must fit in an 80-inch square in every orientation" then I might buy it. But not as written.

Yeah, that is exactly the point.
