    DMB.

    That was Glenn, not me, and he was paraphrasing Martin Gardner. But I assume
    Gardner is referring to such heavies as Bradley and Royce (Absolute
    Idealists). I don't know much about that era (late 19th century), but do
    know that the word 'absolute' got tossed around with abandon, both by
    idealists and materialists.
