Knowledge can only filter down from those who have it and that filtering
presupposes a willingness to share it and an ability to convey it in
accessible and palatable form. It is sad to think anyone with specialized
knowledge would assume that there is no one else who would enjoy being
enlightened. Lead, kindly light!
And I'm always enormously put off to get even a whiff of someone thinking
that any one group of irises is inherently superior to others and that those
who are associated with it are somehow of a different order from other
mortals. I hasten to shout very loudly that you will see this sort of hooey
associated with every type of iris, but luckily it is pretty rare. Probably
because it is patently nonsense.
