> So, if the Prime Directive isn't technical accuracy, what is it?
IMHO, the Prime Directive is to make sure the reader/user gets the information
they need. To do this, the information must be both accurate and accessible --
you can't separate the two. If all you cared about was accuracy, you could
write the darn thing in Esperanto. And wouldn't *that* give you something to be
smug about...
