Not at all. I choose the one that *physicists* use, which is the one
that you should choose if you want to discuss physics. If you want to
talk about doctor visits, you can use a different definition.

Only a fool would choose a different definition than the one that is
relevant to the context. The fool makes HIMSELF look foolish by doing
that. Nobody has to do that for you.

No evidence for that, and lots of evidence counter to it, Seto.

It is you and ONLY you that says that "physical" means "material" and
if it ain't material it ain't physical.

Happens the same in evaculated and horizontal tubes, John.

Every nutjob thinks his delusions are rational. Doesn't make them so.
