It's cargo cult thinking, an element or two of the initial ideal surely must comprise the entirety. The Statue of Liberty is there, the rest is extraneous, irrelevant to modern thinking... This got me thinking about an old Star Trek episode, where all the inhabitants on some hell hole of a planet were mumbling gibberish that the crew later realized were remnants of the US Constitution (I think it was), mouthing the syllables without any real understanding of the concepts behind them. corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus
