Great. Now imagine you are a motorhead in a hospital.
I have no trouble distinguishing between these two meanings of "sick"
within the same conversation. You just have to resolve your overload
sets correctly.:-D
The reason I was bringing this up was indeed that the current thread
could be somewhat aptly summarized as one involving a motorhead who is
trying to persuade a doctor that his patient is not actually sick, and
that indeed, such a claim is completely meaningless; hence no medicine
should be administered.
To me, this thread can be summarized by n parties sharing code in a
"common" language but it's actually not a common language because each
party has their own incompatible definitions of all the keywords.

Some of the parties have stated this at the moment they entered the
discussion and were successfully ignored by some of the other parties
who kept asserting that their own definitions were the only sane ones
and anything else does not deserve to be discussed.
