"Nothing you have said by way of criticsm is relevant or meaningful."
Yeah right. I wrote a sentence by sentence critique of your post. You just ignored it completely.
That's called a win in debate. The battle you eagerly anticipate, you just fought and lost big time. That is the battle my friend, produce real ideas and defend them, even if the people bashing them aren't nice about it. This isn't kindergarten, we aren't all equally right about things. Some people are wtrong. Period. You are one of them. And no matter how much you shout that you are right, it doesn't change things.
Why? There is this thing called reality, and it exists outside you. You can't make it into what you want just by saying it is so. You can't just repeat over and over that I am wrong and you are right. Which is what you're doing, only each time you're trying to use bigger words. Like when Betty Boop said explicate and she meant explain; she just wanted us to think she was smart by using a rarer word. That's you, except when you use the big words, (predicate) you tend to use them incorrectly.
Sorry, just saying I didn't substantivly address your hypothesis up there doesn't cut it. I did, everyone here saw it, and then they see you close your eyes and start repeating over and over "no no no no!"
Everyone here can see that your emporer is naked.
Explicate refers to a process of linguistic or logical analysis in which a matter is disentagled or extricated. Betty-boop's use of the word is quintessentially correct.
Predicate is both a noun referring to a part of speech and it is a verb meaning to establish. Note that I used it as a verb.
You are outdone by your sophistry.
