>but language is imprecise, you can't have precise definitions! Maybe you can't. And if you can't be precise enough with the most critical terms in a discussion, then you no place taking part in that argument.
@alyx I didn't say imprecise, I said definitions come with connotations and assumptions. Every definition of a word entails the definitions of the words used to define them, so demanding a list of definitions before having a discussion is almost certainly a waste of time.
