    Minority view or not, it’s correct. Just because it’s a majority doesn’t make it correct.

      Well, you are correct by a minority. But incorrect by the majority.

      Its called perspective and language. Study papers need to define the word sometimes from the ground up so the paper becomes understandable.

        Guess it depends on what the definition of “is” is. Hate it all you want, I’m right.

          I guess your ego to be right is more worth than valuable conversations where people actually understand each other by being on similar wavelengths.

          Congratulation. You are right. But I dont know where.
