Maybe some things are superficial to you, but they may not be superficial to others.
Maybe it's superficial to you because these things have no (as Doggystyle put it) historical basis to you. They don't MEAN anything to you. And if it's so superficial, then why do you want to take part in it? Like twirling your blue and gold cane? If you are just doing it to exhibit talent, why not a baton?

*commercial ends, show fades back in. Rain Man and GCers on Match Game set. Rain Man is center stage buried in baby blue 4 x 6 index cards, one of which written in black Magic Marker: "Another victim of a school riot". Rain Main gets up from the mountain of cards, takes Gene Rayburn's long stemmed microphone and addresses Ideal08*
Ideal, I will be flat out honest with you in your question: Because I like it, I think it possesses finesse, and I think it is nonsense that I should be "prohibited" from following suit because I have not been exposed to a certain ritual, historical meaning or not. Why don't I twirl a baton? Because that is not my preference.

Would like like Question A or B?
