Sigh.
You know, it's one thing to be ignorant about the experience of a particular poster. But to be ignorant of well-established truths that merely require a simple check of a dictionary or the Internet - not to mention common sense - for validation and verification is a sign of unmitigated stubborness.
When a word has a specific application that is verified by credible sources, it is not arbitrary. Of course, the mere fact you can't understand this explains why you can't recognize distinctions and are having a hard time processing established concepts and why you think these are ridiculous.
Second, unlike you, if a person offers a credible argument, I am apt to change my mind. But notice I said
credible argument. That's what intelligent people do. When they are presented with information that they factor into their opinion and the information is a reasonable fit, they change their minds and their positions. Which gets me back to my initial point: show me the
CREDIBLE information that says refs are cheating or have it in for the Cowboys?
Are you even paying attention to the discussion?
Third, as I stated previously "bias" can be applied generally to anything. I conceded that if one uses "bias" in a general sense to mean "influence" and that "influence" isn't necessarily "bad" then all refs have bias. But that's really irrelevant to the present conversation. The conversation isn't just that people have bias, but that refs, in having a bias, are
cheating or
ruling against the Cowboys.
That's like saying, "Everyone has an opinion." Okay, so? That tells me nothing. But if someone uses their opinion to mislead others, that's when it matters.
I would advise you to re-enroll in school/college or take it more seriously if you are in school/college now. The points I've made are matters of logic and intelligence, i.e., the ability to differentiate between concepts, the ability to distinguish nuances and variations of thought and language, the ability to evaluate arguments within their context, etc.
Either you know this and are too stubborn to admit that you do and that what I'm saying is totally logical or you are woefully deficient in your logic and intelligence.
Bahahahahahahaha!!!
That's like a man who speaks Chinese asking a man who speaks only English to decipher Chinese to make it more sensible. He doesn't speak Chinese so how is he going to do that?
I don't speak jibberish so how am I going to make sense of jibberish?
It's not my job to make sense of jibberish. It's your job to communicate clearly.
