For these people, the vague generality must be partially junked and replaced by the artful equivocation, or the art of talking around the point...

Experts at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens pronounced the finding a new genus and decided to keep the trees' location secret, since poachers would value its scarcity and thus commercial value...
...define empiricism, he may write indefinitely on the issue, virtually without contradiction.Of course, some people are naturally conservative; they avoid taking a position whenever possible.

For these people, the vague generality must be partially junked and replaced by the artful equivocation, or the art of talking around the point. The artful equivocation is an almost impossible concept to explain, but it is easy to demonstrate. Let us begin with the question...
...worried that the University will repeat the same mistakes, but after the presentation of sketches for Allston’s first new building—a science complex—students cannot help but wonder if the University will make all new mistakes, albeit of the same genus. “I’m not a traditionalist, I can tell you that right away,” declared architect Stefan Behnisch at the presentation, though his sketches speak for themselves. The relatively featureless glass and steel polygons certainly were not hideous—but they were not Harvard either...
