I googled YOUR terms. And if you read my messages you'd notice that I'm not a novice when it comes to math. Hell, you should have gotten that from my very first comment. I was never questioning if I had a stroke, I was questioning your literacy.

  > I was not referring to any scientific definitions.

Yet, you confidently argued against ones that were stated.

If you're going to speak out your ass, at least have the decency to let everyone know first.

They were never my terms. They were the terms from the people that were having a nice conversation before you interrupted.

You told them they were wrong, that it could go either way.

That's not true.

What they were talking about cannot go either way.

You were never talking about the same thing as them. I gave you the benefit of the doubt by thinking you were trying to talk about the same thing as them. Apparently I shouldn't have.

You can't win this on definitions. They were talking about a thing without using formal definitions, and you replied to them with your own unrelated talk, as if it was what they meant. No. You don't get to change what they meant.

That's why I argued against your definition. Your definition is lovely in some other conversation. Your definition is not what they meant, and cannot override what they meant.
