Who wants to be saved? Doesn't this imply an operation to help people vis-a-
vis teaching, which is an ego-based operation? Thus inherently idiotic?

No, it doesn't. Not automatically.

Nothing is 'inherently idiotic'.
For an illiterate one, logic sure seems to have
a cracking whip over your brain 'Fido'.

Mommy, I don't care, but Daddy said I could judge literate comments because he
passed me strong literate genes.

Logic is a tool to play with once and a while. It has its useful moments.

Meaningless idiocy.

As above.

No, because you don't understand it.

No, I mean what I mean. Not what you THINK I mean.
Avoid dictating to me what I mean. Brain-ape.

Knee-jerk lexicla shuffling is not subject to 'understanding'.
What's with the 'understanding' obsession? Oh yes,

> Is "not really" the opposite of "really"?
No. There is no relation.
