What is the difference if it was or was not in a single dictionary's different incompatible definitions?
There's a very obvious difference. What were the conditions that I specified?

Why am I supposed to Google stuff but you can't even be arsed to look at an earlier post that contains requirements for a challenge you're supposedly meeting?

Why do my answers get misinterpreted so often?

You do not have to google stuff. Why do you think or feel that you are supposed to google stuff?

You asked me a very simple specific clarifying question, so I just provided you with a very simple specific clarifying answer. How and why then did this get so misinterpreted?

Now, the reason that I could not be arsed to look at an earlier post is because I have no real interest in this. And, if you do not want to repeat your own requirements sought, then that obviously leads to the fact that you have no real interest in this either.

So there's no reason to walk you through it then. Talk to me about something you have an interest in.

Are you interested in learning how a Truly peaceful world for EVERY one can be cared, very easily and very simply? If yes, then I am very interested in discussing this.

So that tells me that you're focusing on hypotheticals, not what things are like at the moment. I wasn't talking about hypotheticals when I commented that money is required. I was talking about the fact that as things are at this very moment, not everyone can just squat in some property, not everyone can just steal food, and they won't all just be given it for free, etc. Many things would need to be different than they are at this moment for money to not be necessary.

Call any 'thing', anything you like.

You can also assume anything you like, but this does not mean that it is actually true at all.

I AM talking about what things are like at this moment. You just cannot yet comprehend what this 'moment' actually IS, from my perspective.

You also were not looking at and talking about thee True, Big, and Full picture either, which is what I am saying, meaning, and talking about.

You were, instead, looking from a very narrowed view of things and were talking from that perspective only.

Once again, an extremely narrow view of things.

I am talking about human beings do not need money to live. But, unfortunately, you are unable to see this fact, with and from your very limited field of view of things.

I have also asked you some clarifying questions, which you have, once again, completely failed to answer and clarify. Obviously what you are talking about has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL to do with what I actually said, and actually meant. So, once again, if you want to go down some completely off topic path from what I brought up, then so be it. As I said, you will be on your own.

You could be using words in a way that doesn't at all resemble their conventional usage, sure (re "moment," for example), but that would be your problem, not mine, especially when it comes to reading what other folks write.

But I am having NO problem at all here. I understand FULLY what you are so desperately 'trying to' get to.

Are you forgetting that it is you who is completely unable to see and understand what I am talking about and meaning?

I think you will find that talking to 'evolution', is a bit like talking to a fish.
He's already forgotten the point you say was his assumption.
