Yes, Patrick, that's *exactly what it means; and that's all.
At best it's sometimes used as a posh word for idea: where did you get the
inspiration?
Like saying "I can confirm" to say "I'd like to tell you"
At middle worst it leads to some of the things Graves came out with
cue Laura Riding: You're so right, Robert; and actually I *am the goddess.
Write that down
at worst worst people stop writing till the idea comes
