The failure of dictionaries (not just one dictionary)

Silence has become but a word…

Dictionaries have been, like words, involved in a massive cover-up.
With their cross-referential ways of providing us a sense of knowledge and safety, they have produced a parallel universe that cannot find its way back.
Woe unto us!

All we ever do is to cross-reference everything – Nous ne faisons que nous entre-gloser. — Montaigne
What you accept as knowledge is your very own blind spot.  — Pier Marton
