Well, I must say Jared has gone right to one of the central dilemmas of philosophy. Do words have a common meaning or do they mean only what we individually say they do, like we were living in Wonderland.
"experimental" has a scientific and technical meaning that is quite precise, but "experimental" also has a commonly understood meaning or range of meanings, for example in music. Fred Frith is pretty experimental in his approach, I'd say. Or Lee Perry. Or a good deal of electronic music, even electronic dance music. You can be dogmatic about this if you like, Jared, but don't expect us to go along with it just because you say so. phred
