ANNOUNCING: DOCTRINE ON UNDISPUTED INFALLIBITY OF THE UNDISPUTED.
From "The Catechism of Chiff"
#4438:
The Undisputed, when he speaks ex cathedra -- that is, when in the exercise of his office as King of Whistle Internet Journalism and Dear Leader of Chiff & Fipple, by virtue of his supreme authority on matters of taste and sensibility to be accepted by the whole Chiff & Fipple Community-- is possessed of infallibility in defining doctrines of taste and sensibility; and consequently that such definitions of the Undisputed are irreformable of their own nature (ex sese).

Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.
Tell us something.: This is the first sentence. This is the second of the recommended sentences intended to thwart spam its. This is a third, bonus sentence!

Okay, I get that when the King of the Whistles says he is speaking ex cathedra he would say that his statements were irreformable ex sese. And He might well believe it since He could be delusional. And I can pretty much go along with any decisions about manners, although taste and sensibility are really entirely different matters. But wouldn't I have to be equally delusional to think that the statements were infallible? I don't quite see how this will work out.
