Comment(by deryni):
Right, and my point was graphical images are really bad at expressing
anything beyond the absolute most basic meanings. I agree that I would not
title the thinking image "thinking" were I asked, but having been told
that it means thinking I think it works fine. Which is sort of my point
about smileys being terrible tools for conveying meaning. I'm not
defending our current icon, just pointing out that most debates about
whether a specific icon is appropriate for a given usage are likely to
degenerate to "feelings" about the icons rather quickly.
