The OED is an example. This is annoying. You're saying just because a concept is accepted, it should also be known before you understand it. You're testing my patience, and what you need to be doing here is addressing the question rather than wasting time like this.

I never made the claim that they are empirically provable. I just want to know why you guys think they're "non-empirical" whilst apparently dismissing other extraordinary claims for empirical reasons. So far I've been only been given appeal to definition and consensus fallacies in response.
And it is being explained to you. More arm waving. I expected more from you.
