I am not seeing any corroboration for " concordance contains [only] the " important" stuff - it does seem to contain everything, but with some human assistance to separate multiple use words like bear ( verb) vs bear ( animal) which a dump indexer would not pick up. Maybe I was wrong to suggest a concordance maker could add bias. |
So...we've all decided that there's no definitive authority on the topic of Concordances? If it's a Biblical concordance, it's the kitchen-sink and weight of importance, but for anything else, it's anything goes?
Alrighty, then. Good to know. (sigh).
[quoteok - back to the far more interesting debates on which side should your floppy disc be buttered, how many floppy discs does it take to store a bible , with or without a concordance, etc.[/QUOTE]
In which time period? ;-) (insert evil grin here)
