Jay, one can't learn the meanings of all words if all one knows how to do is look up "archetype".

Excuse me, I meant "archeype".

geez, I'm glad I only spend most of my day analyzing the Internal Revenue Code and actuarial materials, both as applied to insurance companies, and then try to write creative arguments justifying tax positions under statutes that arguably didn't anticipate the actuarial changes imposed by regulators - this BB stuff is too complicated for my little mind (although I knew before reading this thread what constitutes an archetype and an exemplar, having wandered through Jonathan's dept (before Jonathan was there) in my college days).

At least these posts are not drafted by lobbyists.
