I wasn't asking a question, I was making a statement. In fact, I don't think I've asked a question the entire thread. There's a difference between confusion and pointing out ambiguity.

You've shown how deep seated the problem (with not defining terms) is in this thread. I've been pointing out all along that scientists can mean different things when they use the term, and you come back with "how science uses it." The reason this is a problem is it leaves things open for a nice little bait and switch.
