You're going to have to sell your definitions every time you use them.

Why is this the case? Moreover, I still do not understand your continued disputing of the definitions of terms used by scientists. Even if you do not accept their definitions, the fact remains that the scientists who use the terms do accept the definitions, and it is the implications of these definitions in their statements where such terms are used. Do you hope to somehow retroactively change the implications of their statements by claiming that terms that they use have different meanings?

Wow.

That's a stunning admission.

I used to think that "Words Mean Things" was a bedrock of conservatism.

The number of people on these threads who advocate re-defining words to advance a political agenda would be depressing if it wasn't so outrageous.
