This is measured indirectly, but for MOST intents

And the taste changes accordingly, I expect.
Incidentally, do you think the tongue is otiose? I mean, for philosophical
purposes, it's _OBVIOUS_ that's it's the sense of TOUCH -- what the tongue
does. It touches those ions, and thus they taste more or less 'acid'.
What sense are we to make that water is tasteless?
If it's COLOURLESS why is it visible? Or perhaps it's not and that's why
we call it trans-lucid?
Oddly, Putnam mentions that in Mars, with their twater, they would have
twater-based lubricants, too. In this respect they seem to operate better

I miss K. Trogge -- I suppose he must be busy paying a visit to
Christopher Bruce in Kiel, Germany.
I know see that he _wanted_ to deafen and blind his 12-month neighbour, to
repeat the Helen Keller experiment. Wicked mind! (Someone should stop him
-- I think it's Helen Kohler -- he said the surnames were cognate).
What's the big deal with water-based lubricants? Are they supposed to be
better because you can water-wash them more easily?
