    Aren't we falling into the semantic trap of abusing the word
    "synthetic" here? The word actually describes the product of a
    process of synthesis, and it has, mistakenly or not, accrued the
    secondary pejorative meaning of vaguely false or fake. it's a little
    like trying to decide if something is or is not "cool"...on the one
    hand one can say that ice is cool, but then one can also say that The
    Red Hot Chilli Peppers are cool ! See the difference? Steve Holden new
