I am not saying that examples are not suggestive of laws of physics. All I am saying, which you irrationally deny, is that definitions are part of an overall process for knowing reality, that is, for actually doing physics. Without them we can't speak meaningfully with each other. And most people still use dictionaries, which are now online, and often are implicit in our discussions. As I recall quite clearly, it was YOU who have been vigorously critical of Bruno for his alleged sloppy and varying DEFINITIONS!. Looks like your achieving troll status with foolish argments.
