[Captain Pike]

Some of the greatest arguments are over the "true" meaning of words, in this case the real meaning of the word "proof".

That there can be multiple definitions held by multiple people is obvious. Arguing over the definitions as a method to discover some kind of larger truth is a waste of time.

“Arguing over the definitions as a method to discover some kind of larger truth is a waste of time.”

I agree. It’s why I have not addressed the definition—because every knows what it is. The debate here is really about objective certainty, not over the meaning of the word proof.
