OP In another thread, Dr. Bill used the word lore (which, here in Zild is phonetically indistinguishable from "law"), and it got me thinking about the android "twins" in Star Trek:TNG. One, without emotion, basically a walking CPU, was called Data, his brother, with emotions, unstable and psychotic, was called Lore. I would be interested in hearing views on the relationship between these words. In your opnion, are they, as their use in ST:TNG suggests, antonymic? Is one or the other really worthy of being used, at least implicitly, as a pejorative?
