Ian glendinning said he is...
"..still waiting ...For Platt to post his favourite dictionary definition of 
"defintion".

dmb says:
I don't get it. Seems to me that "definition is death" only if you think 
obscurity and confusion is life. Seems to me that clarity is the enemy of 
bullshit, drivel and lies and that "definition" plays an important role in 
clarity. It also seems that "definition" is not at all difficult to define. 
As I understand the MOQ, all of static reality comes into existence through 
a process of differentiation, by way of distinctions and language itself is 
something like a giant, interrelated set of definitions. Definition is the 
essence of all symbolic thought. Even the single celled organism has a very 
fundamental sense of distinction and "knows" this is better than that.

def-i-ni-tion. noun. 1.Statement of the exact meaning of a word. An exact 
statement or description of the nature, scope or meaning of something. 2. 
The degree of distinctness in outline of an object, image or sound. From the 
latin verb definire; set bounds to.

driv-el. noun. 1. Silly nonsense. 2. To let salive or mucus flow from the 
mouth or nose; dribble.
