An argument showing time is temporal.

What definition of temporal are you using? Temporal usually means "relating to time" or "for a period of time".

...

The argument one uses for showing that time is temporal involves a dictionary.  This is like saying that bachelors are unmarried, and tells us about language, not about other things out in the world.

The original argument is total gibberish.
