it is only semantically null to the semantically dull. A

Either you have a shallow understanding of semantics, or your are just being irascible. I did not say the question would not stimulate a cloud of discussion; I said it was semantically null. To place the word "folk" in the sentence at all is to posit the existence of the practice or entity that you are calling folk. To then ask if what you have posited to exist, and which is agreed on by anyone who uses the same definition, does exist, is circular. When you run in circles you end up....never mind.
