I don't think we should eliminate connotations from the language, if that's what you're asking.
But in cases where we're trying to use X-Treme Rationality on things that have otherwise resisted debate, we have to use special techniques make the problem more tractable. And one such technique is positivist thinking and putting a big wall up between connotations and denotations.
I like your acronym.
Thanks for the correction. This makes much more sense as a technique than a general principle.
Added your acronym to main post. Please do not doci. Adboc instead.
I don't suppose it's possible to view the version history of the post, so can you state for posterity what "DOCI" used to stand for?
