These definitions are primarily so the people on this list can stop debating
the definitions, at least for the sake of argument. I hope they catch on
beyond this list, but mostly I'm just tired of the endless semantic debates.
If we can point to something and say "that's a car", then we might be able
to agree on what a car is, at least long enough for people to make points
without having to debate the definition of "car".

I didn't say that. I said I don't understand why you brought this up on this
thread, when I haven't touched the subject of better or worse.

I've only said we should work to define both.

Don't know yet. Got the Basecamp project set up. We'll see where it goes.

If this list has proven anything, it's that we CAN'T define "information",

That may very well be the case, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway. It's
entirely possible that you're far more wise than I, and this little group
will never come up with a definition good enough to suit the IxDA Board and
community, but I still say it's worth a shot. And if it ends up being a
waste of time, well then I learn something.
