Funny, that's the feeling I suspect most of the people here have had reading your posts.

I've been accused by some people (ignorant of particular aspects of my areas of knowledge) of being able only to post large chunks of googled texts.

Of course, when one is attempting to develop an argument that may have contentious ideas or pieces of information not generally available, one has to either provide additional supporting information, or what would in another sense be footnotes or attributions.

If you have particular information pertinent to an argument of yours, then in poker terminology, let's see your hand.

Otherwise, you're a busted flush.

How can I possibly do that when I copy and paste a definition from Websters dictionary and it is questioned, doubted and asserted to be a false?

Pasting dictionary definitions doesn't necessarily support or develop an argument.

I note we still have yet to see any Einsteinian attributions such as the ones U.R. pleaded for, but feel free to digress.

I read a collectioin of Einstein's own essays called Out of My Later Years. He did not display the tendency you so asserted, that's why I asked you for citations.
