There is none, as you correctly point out, nor did I
claim there was any. My post was as vacuous as the
one it replied to, to make an emotional impression
with no substance. I never said such activity was
wrong--just that I tend to label as "crackpots"
those who do nothing else.
Definitions are the groundwork from where argument
begins: to call a definition "argument" is like
calling a dish washer a chef--sure, you can't enjoy
the food without clean dishes, but that's not where
the real meat is.
Of course, in that last paragraph, I am referring to
the substantive difference between definitions and
arguments, which you are welcome to use different
words for if you prefer.
