fishenjim,
it seems you are arguing that the literal textbook definition of a word is the only interpretation one should ever consider. no nuance, no suggestive language, no poetic license, just literal translation always. so very simple. got it.
edit addition: i hope someone calls the invasive species hotline. it seems we have a report of a contingent of slithering slimy snakes on the summit of Mauna Kea.
