    That's true, but Marc's observation is that Wolfe made it up. Maybe
    there should be such a designation, and maybe it would be especially
    appropriate for the two planets, but either way it's a fabrication.
    And either Marsch was a giant among anthropologists as the guy who
    coined this new term, or he's full of sh*t. <br>
    <br>
    I am not sure we can ever really say which it is, but plainly Wolfe
    is pulling our legs. <i>Either way. </i>It reminds me of the
    W/Vernor Vinge error---one of those revealing mistakes.<br>
