Thanks SM for #221,
I looked up the whole answer in my RBMW book. Very interesting.
I had wondered if Egals could argue that the comp definition of “authority” was wrong because……
The only answer to that seems to be that “you are changing the meaning of the word depending on the relationship- you can’t do that- words have meanings.”
But then the comp will say “but isn’t that exactly what you do with the word ‘head’- you change its meaning to suit different contexts?”
So really it is hard to argue this one conclusively, we just have to accept that the definitions are different to understand each other. Is that correct?
