My sentiments exactly, but odd coming from you, a master perpetrator.
Still my point -- which you essentially endorse in the your letter to AshyAsp -- is that what a gadri means in a particular context depends in part on how it interacts with other expressions in tha context.  Properly used, {la odisix} makes a great prototype (aside from the name chosen) when used with {mela} and other expressions to make the point.  The gadri only give patterns, not content, so they work fine for all the various things that different metaphysicians want them for -- if thye are arranged carefully.
