Sigh, social anthropologists....

I note for Mr. Willems's sake that one of the "important differences
between" the "opposing viewpoints" of social and cultural anthropology is
whether we have unending Rhubarb Rhubarb Rhubarb, or unending Rutabaga
Rutabaga Rutabaga. This particular point has caused the fractioning of
departments, boycotting of journals, and the loss of Nobel prizes.

A similar rift was noted among the Yahoos over something to with terminum
ovae.
