Why use that word when it's clear to anyone with a brain that its dual meaning can cause confusion?

I did it on purpose to confuse stupid people.

Post #151 But you have faith that the trial and error method will produce incrimentally better results.

That is a faith. Period.

Post #153 I did it on purpose to confuse stupid people.

You are being deliberately offensive. Words mean things, and to deliberately confuse two clearly different meanings does not contribute to the discussion, nor to your credibility.

Whether you wish to admit it or not, there is a clear difference between a belief or a faith, based on no clear evidence (a religious belief, for example), and the scientific method which has been worked out by trial and error for centuries. Either can be wrong, but the trust one places in the scientific method is different than the belief one places in ones faith.

Its late and I haven't shaved. I may check back to see if the thread has evolved tomorrow.
