Jim M., Jerry, Greg, GF, Doug and list,
Jim you say;
"while the pleasures of lexical fundamentalism are undeniable, i'm not
sure they usually lead to more useful and accurate descriptions of the
world."
Calling the product made from your $5,500 machine "syngas" is, at best,
misrepresenting.
GF stated my concern; "Your explanation for the word "Syngas" being the
product of a GEK is of great commercial value." Your diatribe post Jim did not
convince me that your gas maker makes synthesis gas and that you are entitled
to make the "syngas" claim for machinery sales and to reap the commercial value
associated with the claim.
My lexical fundamentalism says that you stop advertising, saying that you have
a product that will make a gas that it clearly will not make. You were long
ago educated on the difference right here on this list and are a key source of
confusion, even amongst professionals, with your anti-laxical- fundamentalism
claim to the term "syngas" .
I surely want to have more accurate descriptions of the world...including truth
in advertising. This list surely cares that significant terms to describe
energy containing gas are used accurately. Using scientific terms correctly is
more than "lexical fundamentalism".
Sincerely,
Toby J. Seiler
