Bravo CapK for "cavillasurdaster". Certainly it is perfect to refer to the person suffering from the problem. Could we use "cavillasurdastery" for the problem itself?

I have to admit that I was not too happy with my original choices just because they didn't, in the words of the immortal xara, taste right.

Regarding feigning cavillasurdastery: That is cruel and unusual punishment but oh so effective. Surely there must be an effective counter strategy.
