"..still waiting ...For Platt to post his favourite dictionary definition of
"defintion".

I don't get it. Seems to me that "definition is death" only if you think
obscurity and confusion is life. Seems to me that clarity is the enemy of
bullshit, drivel and lies and that "definition" plays an important role in
clarity. It also seems that "definition" is not at all difficult to define.
As I understand the MOQ, all of static reality comes into existence through
a process of differentiation, by way of distinctions and language itself is
something like a giant, interrelated set of definitions. Definition is the
essence of all symbolic thought. Even the single celled organism has a very
fundamental sense of distinction and "knows" this is better than that.
