>we
must always bear in mind that our compositions, oral or written, are
artificial
exercises.  Useful to learn and think in the language, but not "real"
Greek, and
perhaps this is where our differences of opinions lie, in not keeping this
distinction.<

Heartily agree -- 
yet raising another simile 
is this
sort of like hesistating to learn to swim in a pool 'cuz it's not the
ocean?
