(October 24, 2016 at 1:25 am)robvalue Wrote: I agree. It's normally an attempt to draw a line under what is possible, then say other things can break those rules. That's just an arbitrary and poor use of language to try and sneak in bullshit. I made a video on this where I discuss what a pointless term it is. It's either not well defined, or if it is, it's a loaded term for a more simple concept such as "unexplained".
