That sound you hear, dear MaxQ, is the sound of standards crashing all around us!



Sorry, WOW, you just shot yourself in the foot by conceding that the dictionary lists "focus" as a defintion of "hone". Then there's the obvious mental link in the "hone in on", with its imagery of sharpening, pointing, etc. I am, however, far too nice to say that your argument is nice.
