Words have meanings. Communication between humans, which you’re keenly defending, depends on a shared understanding of them. I haven’t commented on it until now, but in my view you’re splitting hairs by repeatedly creating your own definitions (e.g. defining what is “real” change or not; changing the definition of words you said; saying “improvement” is not “change”; misunderstanding “limited”). So your repeated accusations don’t really land.

I don’t think it’s worth either of our times to continue, though. We’ve strayed too much from the original point.

A good evening (or your equivalent time of day) to you.




Yeah, and mincing words to make a silly argument valid isn't communication, it's arguing for arguments sake.
