Until somebody can resolve that for me, I will be skeptical of any human developed “text” that claims to communicate anything.

Actually, you should be. Each generation changes the language and twists the meaning of words around to mean something completely different (i.e., "gay". That USED to mean happily cheerful. Now...)

Your point being?

And "silly" originally meant "pious"
