Hmm...actually there is some thin shard of progress here. Apparently
now choosing to dig into your memory bank you suddenly recall the
definition which you just claimed I didn't have. However you still
desperately hang on to it as your standard straw man of my position,
in claiming that I've gone back to it.

If supposedly I've gone back to it, from what position have I
retreated?

In other words, let's see if you can remember the reason why I have
repeatedly and clearly rejected that very definition which you are now
claiming I have gone back to (while at the same time supposedly not
having a definition).

That would be real progress. Maybe then it won't be entirely pointless
to continue this conversation.
