       People who believe in "framing" show an inclination to magical thinking. Interestingly, those taking this view are primarily on the "educated left" of the spectre. They believe that words cast a spell and that avoiding certain words or word forms can remedy the situation. Which is, of course, another version of magical thinking.I have nothing against magical thinking, only against a thinking that, in order to avoid magical thinking, unwittingly falls back on the same style it aims to surmount.
