Labyrinth vs. Maze

Commentator Marshall77 has resurfaced a contentious and ongoing crisis in labyrinth theory.

What is the essential identity of the labyrinth? How is this identity ontologically distinct from the maze?

We need a new lexicon through which to penetrate the labyrinth's identity crisis, and I post these questions in hopes for a continuing discussion about this most urgent topic in contemporary labyrinth theory.

Can't this just be reduced to an argument of semantics? Also, are you guys going to do a billboard like Whodey Revolution?

Are we talking Davie Bowie style labyrinth or Guillermo del Toro Pan's Labyrinth labyrinth. That could make a difference.

Let's try to keep our discourse at least quasi-academic, Julie.

Pan's Labyrinth was a dumb movie.

I am so tired of people simply making claims without any substance. Why was it dumb? Because you didn't feel like reading subtitles, probably.

I think mazes have dead-ends and labyrinths don't.

Whodey Revolution has been routed and squashed.

Go Browns.
