[Leigh]Why is it misleading to say that "energy is the ability to do work"?
It's wrong. It doesn't mean anything. Now I retire from the fray.Leigh will not be satisfied it seems by anything less than this:
Leigh
"Energy: the property of a system that is a measure of its capacity for
doing work"
You might be excused for mistaking Ludwik's construction for the dictionary
definition that I take to be Leigh's view.
