A definition for an entity - removed from any example of that entity beyond the narrative (in this case the narrative being a discussion), is no different from a character like Dracula, Beowulf, or Tyler Durden..(it;s not enough) which amusingly, is already how I define gods.
Different route huh? It seems like I am saying 1 + 1 = 2 and you are saying that 2 - 1 = 1. I was the terse one this time though.
You know who is notably absent in this discussion? The OP.
