"How silly, Master, those weather experts who still call themselves 'meteorologists' instead of 'meteologists'. They have nothing to do with meteors."
"What would you expect in a society of grown-up children, or rather children playing grown-ups? How happy they are with a new fangled fashion word! These 'high profile', or 'counterproductive', the use of 'workaholic' for work-addict, and so on. With a few exceptions, even scientists are only PLAYING scientists. Remember the heart-fallacy and the eye-fallacy too, in many writers."
"I do not understand."
"Practically all writers, high-class or not, use the heart, an ordinary blood-pump, for the organ of feeling, 3000 years after Hesiod. It is only symbolic, therefore not wrong, at the least ridiculous. But with the eyes, it is downright stupidity. The eyes are sensors, they receive only, receivers of physical stimuli. When you regard them, in all seriousness, as stimulators, as senders of physical stimuli, you are stupid. Homer's Athene with the flashing eyes, is excusable, being 3000 years old, but what of Huxley. A, Forester. C.S, Chesterton. G.K, May. K, Christy. A, and so on? They all write 'AS IF' something comes out of the eyes, instead of something going into them. Place a board before your head with one hole in it of 2 cm. Let people guess whether the eye behind it looks: flashing, sad, dul, angry, interested, furious, cloying etc. Even when it is an artificial eye you get the same answer, either: I don't know, which is a True Word, or: all kinds of nonsense, invented on the spur of the moment. This, now, is the Way with people, meteologists included."
