Perhaps not in those exact words but I hold to it.

That is perhaps the bit I am having difficulty grasping. Given the costs
of them (both social and financial) are so large, it seems strange (to
me) to simply accept those costs without objection and yet not be able
to champion any rational purpose for incurring them.

Oh, you mean let other people suffer first? That is, if they DO suffer.
That's not a charitable outlook.

Its a pragmatic one. It is the difference between wizdom and experiance...
experiance says when you trip over a dodgy pavement, "I won't do that
again", when you see someone else trip over the pavement and think "that
pavement must be dodgy, I will remeber to not to do that" you have wizdom.
No point in you both suffering!


That paragraph isn't a good example of that. When you read good spelling do
you remember to use the right ones in your posts?

One of the odd things about dyslexia is the ability to read most text
and be completely oblivious to the spelling contained therein (unless it
is glaringly weak). It is also easy for me to write a paragraph, spell
the same word four different ways within it, and have them all look "ok"
when reading it back later. Alas not only is it difficult for me to
improve my spelling by wisdom (i.e. observation), it is also equally
difficult to improve it with experience, since a prerequisite of
learning from experience would have to be recognising the failure in the
first place.

However, I am not sure how exactly this diversion into spelling helps
further the discussion on national ID registers....

(there, I even spell checked that one for you)
