  • Are you asking because you still don’t understand why you’re wrong, or because you’re trying to convince the world that everyone else is wrong?

    If you’re having trouble grasping the concept, it’s probably because you keep referring to different, very specific examples as contradictions to other very specific examples.

    If you just want me to say you’re right and everyone else should change their definitions to match yours, then you do you, and best of luck with that.




  • Think of it this way. You’re free to call all creatures that live underwater “birds”, but no matter how many good reasons you have for doing that, or how much sense it makes to you, the rest of the world is going to assume that “birds” means flying feathered creatures. Unless you can convince the entire English speaking world that they are wrong and you are right, you’re just going to create confusion in others and yourself by refusing to use the terms as most people understand them.
