[MD] reifying carrots

[X Acto]

Ian:
No Ron, the absurdity is "precisely".
 
Ron:
Then "clarity" is as equal, absurd.
 
Ian:
Meaning (as value) is what its all about.
We agree already.

So back to your other response ...
Definitions (many possible) are part of meaning, but usage is a bigger
part, and direct experience of value bigger still. Meaning does start
and end with "a precise definition".

Ron:
Well if "Meaning does start and end with "a precise definition", then why are you insisting
that it's absurd?
 
I think you probably "meant" to say more "precisely" is that meaning does NOT start and
end with "a precise meaning".
 
clarity and precision are better and hold greater meaning than looking at any and all
definitions, however imprecise as equal in meaning. direct experience is what makes
some definitions more clear and precise than others therefore, clarity and precision
is always measured by direct experience. 
 
I think, you are so eager to jump to the assumption that I'm calling for rigid static definitions
that you are unable to see that what I'm really calling for is precision and clarity in meaning
which has little to do with rigid static definition. To be precise in our explanations, and thus
our definitions is to render our values more intelligible.
 
If that is absurd Ian, then the expansion of reason is absurd.
 
In conclusion the arguement is NOT about a quibble over two competing equal definitions,
It's about which one has greater meaning.
