From this stimulating discussion, I offer a simple critique, of myself as
much as anyone else.  Whenever I reach for 'they' in an argumentative or
dialectical setting, I'm always suspcious of myself.  Who, exactly, are
'they' and aren't I making a mistake in grouping so broadly?  "those
creationists"  "those evolutionists" "those religious people" "those
atheists" "the current administration," ad nasuem.

To me, it weakens and cheapens the position I'm arguing.
