Swami, give me a break. By selecting what you consider the definition of "know" that "most closely applied to the discussion" you have created a statement elastic enough to muddy plenty of waters. Later in this post other definitions of "think" and "thought" have been offered. Apparently there is some confusion.

Do you assume as a given that your particular definition is most applicable? In other words, are you fairly sure that when people read it, they'll know which definition you're referring to?

If you don't assume that of the rest of us, how else do you expect us to presume your definition, considering the many available? Consider, also, how misleading your statement becomes when other definitions are presumed.

Alright, I've Swami-bashed my last for this thread. Now I'm going to pick a fight with you on "The Core." Just kidding...

I always strive for clarity whether or not you agree. Did you not read this:

Think:
1 a : to exercise the powers of judgment, conception, or inference : REASON

Dont' know how to make that any clearer.

The proof is in the pudding.
