I think everyone has expressed their beliefs well and it is unlikely that anyone is going to be convinced to change their beliefs without clarification from Okrand/Maltz.  Please feel free to go on expressing your opinions, I'm not trying to shut down the discussion.  I just wanted to take a moment to give everyone a pause to take stock of where the discussion currently stands.

Sorry, but when Okrand says hair, he means hair. When Okrand says percussion instrument, he means percussion instrument. When you slap your knees rhythmically, your knees ARE a percussion instrument.

At least until Maltz says otherwise.
