Don't forget that it was the original sophist (Protagoras--patron saint of metricians) who held that "Man is the measure of all things."

To which Heraclitus lay down on his back, held up his foot, and argued that it was bigger than the sun.

Heraclitus must have gotten along well with Diogenes. Certain strains of satire actually do go back to the sophists - pseudodoxia. The Praise of Folly by Folly. http://giving.typepad.com/photos/scenes_of_wealth_bondage/lucianus.html. Lucianis was a sophist by trade, I believe, and satire was him just pushing it all a little too far, until it became intentionally comical. Bill stops short of that, perhaps to his credit.
