Trump Is Reality TV, Mueller Is The Wire

Right. It's our insistence that words have meanings, the most popular of which are collected in dictionaries, which is the fault, here.

It's certainly not that you use the word "prove" metaphorically to mean "really likely, but not certain" in a conversation just begging for misunderstanding (a political conversation).

Says the guy who eschews the dictionary definition of "intelligence" so he can slice and dice it however is necessary in order for his ramblings to make sense.

You can gripe that it's other people's fault that you're not understood all you like, but it's not going to address your desire to be understood until YOU start playing the game the rest of us are playing... the game where we want to express our ideas in the most understandable way for our audience so that we can spend a minimum amount of time bickering over mangled metaphors and most of our time actually sharing our ideas.

Are you 'sharing ideas'? I must have missed it. All I see is you pissing on what was a fine exchange of ideas.

OK

Intelligence has been defined in many different ways including as one's capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, and problem solving. It can be more generally described as the ability or inclination to perceive or deduce information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.

Are you 'sharing ideas'?

Words are symbols for ideas, and by typing and posting words, I am sharing ideas.

I know, man. You see what you want to see, and nothing more.

You can't imagine that the reason your statement was even being argued with was because you said something you don't actually believe in the first place, but you're too stubborn, conceited, and entitled look at anything you've said and reflect upon the fact that maybe you chose not the best word to communicate your idea.

Adorable.
