Also note that you don’t get to define the terms that I’m using—I do.
do you not understand?
I know I am using non-standard definitions in the context of this discussion in order to make my points more clear.
Your argument has boiled down to “MY definition of your words says that you are saying X, which is wrong” when I am in fact saying Y, which you have not responded to. I don’t care about what you (or Google) say evaluating a claim is supposed to mean, because what we are discussing is what I mean when I say it. The “idle circularity” flows from your failure to acknowledge different uses of words in the context of this discussion and respond to my actual points. If you want to get somewhere, perhaps you should reread my definitions and actually consider what I am saying.
