Uh oh. I see a sidebar.

What your saying is that my statement about Trenton (which, of course, theologically, we call "Hell") is precise because the degree of precision of the locating term was sufficiently broad. Am I right?

I gotta think this over.

LOL! Someone doesn't have a very high opinion of New Jersey! :) Anyway, whatever I'm trying to say, I hope it's not as circular as that. The statement is precise in that there is no confusion or ambiguity, regardless of how broad or narrow the claim might be. It seems that we're talking about different meanings of "precise", and I think that's what led to such a circular definition.
