Your critique is flawed in every point, as I will demonstrate:

i) Tool have only the one song, so far as I know
1) If you put hemlock in vinegar, it is very bitter indeed. Hemlock is what they used to kill Socrates (possibly mixed with opium)
2) that was an interesting experience, but had no effect one way or the other on my reading of the poem
3) on the other hand, torpid still finds occasional use & can even be considered, though marginally, acceptable. Is this not unfair?
4) you stole point 4 from eratosphere, where I believe they have it set up as an auto-responder to all posts originating from ip's that have at any time in the past been associated with pomeranker
5) and tigers, hence Hobbes, hence by association Calvin, representative of little boys, and what is the yearning to express oneself in amateur poetics other than the little boy (or girl) in all of us giving voice to his little boyness? (or little girlness, as the case may be)
6) jimi
7) the strength of the magnetic force field of the earth has declined by MORE THAN 10% in the past 20 years (requires schizophrenia)
