Privacy and "argue" over "assert"
Prof. Allen summaries "at least" six aspects of "privacy" in this thread. It is appreciated. I also note some discomfort with the use of "assert" as in "s/he asserted such and such" instead of "argues" and how the former implies dismissing the other side with an edge.
