There's no way you'll win with them, though I agree with your understanding and am grateful for your efforts and information. That was what I was taught in 5th grade and I've not seen much to change that understanding.

Instead, what I've learned is that no matter what, if they can't win on facts, they just change the definition.

Constitution says NBC but you don't like that? Don't bother changing the Constitution, just rewrite the definition!

It's the same play that's being run on defining marriage or making abortion legal and many others. No institution or organization is immune and no standard you cite will ever be enough to satisfy them or convince them that they are wrong.

It's everywhere. Even supposedly christian churches have embraced and are now teaching points of view that are clearly and unequivocally judged as sin in the Bible. Whatever.

Kinda cool how the Bible predicts and talks about that as well.

Anyway, I'm not making that case, just noting that the tendency to simply redefine meanings if they can't force the change in belief is not limited to just politics.

Speaking of...did anyone ever figure out what the meaning of "is" is?
