SCIENTIFIC USE OF WORDS

It is important to be able to determine if the definitions
and uses of words are useful for accurate scientific analysis and
description.

Analyze the following statements for:

1.) Self referencing denial or assertion.

2.) Changing the meaning of a word with in the same statement.

3.) Collapsing symbol and referent into one object, for example
pointing at a picture of a car and claiming it is a car.

4.) Failure to recognize two different objects.

5.) Use of a word in such a way as to cover two different meanings
in order to preclude discussion of one of them.

I am certain that I am certain that...
I am certain that I am uncertain...

I am uncertain that I am certain that...
I am uncertain that I am uncertain that...

If I know what is in a box, is it valid for you to claim that you
are unsure what is in the box because maybe you do know what is in box
because I do.

How is that different from,

I am unsure if I know what is in the box but maybe I do know what is
the box but have forgotten it?

What does 'To Know' mean?

Does it mean "To think maybe..."

Does it mean this data is in my memory but I can't remember it now?

Learning implies Learning with Certainty or Learning without Certainty.
Learning across a Distance implies Learning by Being an Effect.
Learning by Being an Effect implies Learning without Certainty.
Therefore, Learning with Certainty implies Learning but
Not by Being an Effect, and not across a Distance.
