Re: A weighty subject - wrong?

And whose quote am I paraphrasing when I say that something is SO bad
that it isn't EVEN wrong!

As applied to definitions "wrong" means "not acceptable".
As applied to theories it usually means "not consistent with
experimental data". As applied to experiments it can mean
"full of errors, (uncontrollable parameters)" or "not
addressing the issue". Therefore definitions can be
wrong. The so-called "objective data" can also be wrong.
