Merely putting a pen to paper or picking up a book is a claim to
privilege--not leastwise if it involves a plea against someone
else claiming a privilege--so the only course of action is to take turns
claiming the privilege to deny the claiming of a priviledge to other
people claiming a priviledge.
It's truly infinite regress.
Is there a priviledged way to spell privilige?
