I've not heard that said before, very true I think.
I've noticed, as I grow older, how many times I've had a definition for a word, since childhood, that I discover to be slightly skewed. I have been keeping a dictionary closer and closer as the years are passing.

I could give the recipe

Your cousin could bake it, i am sure

You have an oven ?

Yeast is important; use mix of Dutch and French
Maybe it turns into a baquette instead a Gallic maisbread

Yes, and the other part of it is making important distinctions that are overlooked. Between definition and making distinctions, that's most of it. The rest is argumetation.
