By the way, I define "a little respect" as taking a similar several hours to what I did looking at definitions of "decrease", uses in context, uses in mathematical terms, uses of the term "parameter" in similar contexts, etc., the difference between tangible items, items with properties, and the properties themselves, and provide evidence that you have done so, instead of re-hashing your own pre-conceived notions.
