re: Another math thread: "In dog beers I've only had one" doesn't make sense

I’m not sure you get to determine the definition of the term. It is what it is, right?

I didn't determine the definition of the term myself. It is a very simple term that defines itself, logically. Or so I thought.

Y’all don’t get to change it.

We are not changing it. We are trying our damnedest to explain why our definition is the only one that makes sense.


Using "dog years" when converting human->dog AND dog->human doesn't make any sense! Take the human out of it and convert dog->cat and cat->dog. Is the 1 year old dog still 7 "dog years" old? No! He is, by definition, 1 dog year old. And in this case he's about 1 "cat year" old, too.
