The exact words in my outgoing mail log are:
| I'd like it to be clear that "entity" doesn't mean "a specific human
| being",
> He
> said "does not mean", not "is not defined to mean".
I did not use the word "defined", true, though I though it was clear in
context. However:
> He said, in essence,
> "there is a list of things an entity can be, and we should make it clear
> that that list does not inclulde 'human being'."
No, that's your strawman. I said '"a specific human being"'. That is not,
in essence or otherwise, the same as 'human being'.
Once again, please do not paraphrase or misquote me.
