About
Discusses the consequences of forgetting that words only point to things and are not the things themselves; explains that attention to words alone may lead to unrealistic behavior, because language makes it easy to distort what is being described. Points out that it is easier to exaggerate in speaking than to be precise, and that this tendency to exaggerate is based partly on failure to limit the description or judgment of a person or thing to a particular time and context. Presented by Dr. Irving Lee
