       I'm with you, heretic! :) I see Fix and Unfix as perhaps punishments and rewards, but not the way People were seperated from Herd Beasts. That was something far more drastic which has been reinforced by centuries of breeding. Actually, I suspect that no Praxian or even Pavisite would mistake a Herd Man for People without some work; makeup and stuff. The physical differences would be obvious to them. Outlanders of course might be confused.
