Yes, you summarized my ramblings far better. " Yay Librarians
   and Archivists " - It's hard not to anthropomorphize for the
   sake of brevity.* Then again, it's not that brevity is someone
   that wishes things to be shorter; it would be "appealing to
   people who I feel would appreciate a quick and short and strong
   statement". Hard to avoid anthropomorphizing :P* Even to say
   "society" - it's the anthropomorphizing of an idea that there is
   a group consensus and giving it feet and a voice... infinite
   regress as to the nature of concepts themselves.* So, I don't
   mind giving feet and hands and voice and a brain to concepts.*
   Ultimately, I think most human writing could easily become a
   Fairy Tale with just a few capitalizations here and there,
   implying the Noun has in internalized Impetus... and the Impetus
   is shown as a drawing of a little devil and angel chatting away
   on the shoulders of a Noun as a stick figure drawn on a piece of
   paper. But yes, that coffee-less rambling aside, yes.* It's the
   attitude of allowing access, even under pressures of restricting
   such access for whatever reasons, be they moral, religious,
   political, cultural, etc. [much discussion has taken place, for
   example, in purging libraries or schools or the Internet of
   mythologies; the thought being that they encourage fantasy
   thinking and that the world would be a better place if all
   things were scientific and rational only.* That's taken place
   since at least the early 20th century and has a very strong
   internet presence - perhaps not so much among librarians, but
   among people who believe they are fighting for some sort of pure
   reason of some kind]
