ZZZZZZ ... at's merely verbal. The two camps seemed to be in disagreement about 
whether or not the man ever got "around" the squirrel, even though they all 
agreed about what actually happened. They all saw it happen and yet some said he 
did and some said he didn't. Asked to settle the dispute, James wondered what 
practical difference it made. By posing this question, the disputants realized 
that they didn't really disagree about what happened. It's just that they were 
using two different meanings of the term "around". Did the man get around the 
squirrel? Some said yes and some said no but the only real difference was in 
what they took "around" to mean. So their dispute was merely verbal and 
therefore meaningless. ... ZZZZZZ

Obviously the definitions must be agreed upon.

This requires "common culture."

Platt and Arlo were recently arguing about "common culture", the squirrel in 
question being "identity" and "race relations."

Nighty night.
