I've never said that entropy is not a measure of the disorder of a^
system. My quarrels are with the notion that an undefined concept of
order leaves the concept sufficiently well constrained to make it
useful, and that even well defined the concept is useless at the
high school level (except, perhaps, at AP - I don't know). In either
event The statement the "entropy is a measure of disorder" is
perfectly true if one simply defines disorder quantitatively - as
being identical with entropy (or, perhaps, entropy/k).
