Due to your unnecessary use of quotation marks, I suspect there is hidden meaning in your 'hidden meanings."

That's right. Words are descriptors and when arranged according to grammatical rules can convey meaning. By changing or misunderstanding the definitions of words the meanings of the ideas and concepts that are meant to be understood can be twisted into whatever one wants the concepts and ideas to mean.
The truth becomes a lie, and vice versa, when meanings lose their meanings because some one doesn't like or can't face the truth.

Yes its like Muhammad Ali dying. All you need to know is he's the greatest when the real issue was boxing. It must be the only sport where your objective is to give your opponent some form of brain damage so that he is unable to continue. Isnt that what a knock-out is, concussion? Yet we feast on the trivial, 'he was the greatest', its just less effort. Same with this thread. What started out as a meaty and promising subject has been trivialised. Still mangoes are well tasty.
