And that's what I was saying, Tal. I was trying to say that you can't let other people tell you what it is. You must see it for yourself and investigate. You reported that it had the properties of a couch, but called it a rock. We have to look at the properties of "God. And stuff," and not just let someone else tell us this is God or stuff.

It is both. Who is to say that a rock cannot also be a sofa? Or a sofa cannot be a rock? |

But it serves all the purposes of a sofa, even looks n' feels like a sofa. It's a rock, but nobody knows that. |

Now, if this was a comparison of say, rock that looks like wood, feels like wood, acts like wood, etc, etc, I would be more inclined to say that it's still a rock (seeing as wood grows from trees... or something like that). However, an actual determination of how a sofa is made is different than wood. An object that acts like a sofa, no matter what it actually is (or is made out of) is still considered a sofa. I view a sofa being defined by what it's used for, instead of what it's made out of. |

Slice.

It's a sofa. That's like saying "Is a sofa made from felt, nylon and cotton wool a sofa or just felt, nylon and cotton wool". I guess it could be called a rock, but if a material has a higher use that extens further than it's name, it is generally referred to by the object name. |

Yeah it's just a rock that supports like a sofa, basically. So it's a rock. |

It does support you like a sofa, but there's more similarities than that. |

That's very true. But if you went all your life sitting on it and thinknig it was a sofa, and then someone proved to you it was a rock, and you looked at ti again, what would you think of it as? The other way around? |
