Aren't tenets like religious ideologies? And if so, would the question be when is a tenet really dead? By mentioning it does it not stir up ounces of faith, in effect re-enlivening it....it's late, my thumbs are numb and this text is too tiny to tell if this is all coming out gibberish. On a side note thank you for the musical encouragement. ;)
A tenet is actually "An opinion, doctrine, or principle held as being true by a person or especially by an organization." So while religious ideologies will often have tenets of faith, they are not the same things. Otherwise a good analogy though.
And as for the musical encouragement, I meant every word. I am in awe of singers, being completely incapable of it myself.
