It also doesn't refute or otherwise diminish my lay man's understanding of what's happening in relation to the conversation.
It's true that a re-definition doesn't refute a previous definition. But that's precisely because a re-definition addresses something else entirely.
It's a fallacy of equivocation to say that conscious observation can't really be conscious because observation doesn't have to be conscious in a completely different sense of the word.
You've wandered off what I was saying, actually.
So. We agree with "Any interaction counts as an 'Observation'." ? Cool.
You agree that words are 'Descriptive' and that we change how they are used, thought of, attached to concepts etc all the time?
Aweseom.
Cheers.
Not at work.
