In context, that seems to mean what I said, yes...
The point is that that absolute definition is your goal, and not written
down in the Theory file, ignoring out-of-context quoting (general rules
vs. absolute definitions, and this not being applicable to the case in
question).

What the heck, I am not avoiding anything. I *replied* to a mail that used

And he didn't even *mention* the word country in the part I replied to.
Are you attempting to single-sidedly change the topic of this subthread
and then accuse others of not using your terms or what?

I am obviously not justifying anything you claim. Please get your facts
and claims right.
In any case, I will not comment further on this topic, as exchanging
accusations isn't leading anywhere.
