I'm trying to follow the logic Shimrod but you may have to help me out. There's little to no exaggeration, those words were pretty much identical to ones I've read expressed on the topic recently. What I'm suggesting is people can't say on the one hand they don't want to delve too deeply into definitions of folk and insist 1954 is definitive on the other. That definition is full of holes, abstractions and generalities that don't hold up if people are going to be completely prescriptive about it.

As for rubber stamping, I require no other sanction than some posters stop upbraiding others about work falling inside or outside tentative definitions.
