you've just made an argument - that I don't understand the definitions of what 
I'm talking about.  You've neither demonstrated the veracity of that argument, 
nor have you provided any indication that you understand the definitions of 
what I'm talking about.  If you don't understand the definitions of the words 
I'm using, how could you know that I don't understand them?
