    Yes. I’m saying my definition is a stricter subset of your definition, and that your definition is too broad because it includes literally everyone.

      And I’m saying your definition is covered by my phrasing.

        We are in agreement. But if you still don’t agree with me, I don’t think that makes you look like a flat earther. Cheers, gotta go make dinner!

            This makes you look like a flat earther.

                No, you have resorted to ad hominin attacks in your discussion of flat earthers, which is a very flat earth thing to do. If your logic and ideas are insufficient to win people to your perspective personal attacks are a weak substitute.

                    Does a bridge dweller live on the bridge, in the bridge, or under the bridge?
