Being a sophist means one is not sophistic-ated.
LOL A++
It is interesting to note that “sophisticated” actually began as a derogatory term meaning “made up” or artificially enhanced (Think of a sophisticated lady being one who was cleverly disguising her faults from the public) ...
But everybody knows Congress and their elite and enlightened staffers who read their biblically corrupt (er, corrupt) NYTimes are very Sophisticated and Superior, aren't they?
