Burg, please explain to me the proper use of "begs the question." In the Catholic high school of my youth, we took an honest-to-goodness course in Logic. Converse, obverse, contra-positive...I remember the terms but don't remember what they mean. And I remember "begging the question" was one of the logical fallacies, like "ad hominem," and "post hoc ergo propter hoc." But I can't remember exactly what it is.
I know I could look it up on the internet, but I'd much rather hear your explanation.
Agree that "iterate" is very computer science-y (computeresque?).
