"The problem with people trying to directly answer such questions... does come from people, where else would it come from?"

My point is that it specifically comes from the people making that error, not humanity in general, which would be meaningless. You tried to make it sound like I'm making a null point, but there is a point there. I was reacting to your own categorization as Philosophy as a distinct entity that can be disliked. Perhaps what you really meant is "Non-questions like these are also why a great many people dislike philosophers." I wouldn't have responded to that.

Now I suppose I'm qualifying for the category of people who are disliked. Well, that's neither news, nor particularly fair; I'm very not post-modern and while I fully understand the idea of the journey being the good part, the destination is very important too.
