All arguments are about definition, not truth

Furthermore, people who do not do this might use the ideas in a single discipline in such a way that violates some greater truth... a truth they would have no way of knowing about because there is no way they could relate it to the discipline they are working in.
For once I agree with you! :)

How we define a word is what causes an argument, not the thing itself: When the truth is disclosed, discussion stops stone dead or waffles on into eternity in an attempt to define what is actually meant/ real.

 

I read that it isn't defining words that causes arguments. It is how we do this, that is cause for argument. Important word is "we" IMO. "How" is secondary importance.

 

For We are "the thing itself." When this truth is disclosed, communication based on words ceases or disintegrates into an attempt to (further) define what is actually meant by "the thing itself" and Self Reality.

 

Words are symbols of symbols.

Twice removed from direct communication.
