It's not a duck. It's something that quacks like a duck, has feathers like a duck, and has a bill like a duck.

Duh.

As long as at least one understands, there is no failure, only misperception.

This thread actually is somewhat philosophical. . .there's a common argument used that 'if it quacks like a duck, has feathers like a duck, and has a bill like a duck, it's a duck,' which I was refuting.

Dat's all.

@bluedevil and Graham it means that not everything that look and acts like something really is that, but can be like a rain ending a drought and then it floods the field loosing the crops.

Wrong book/movie if you were trying to guess where I got it from... Otherwise: Whut?

Also...

Locking thread because it gets annoying with the spam that amasses because people don't understand the OP. >_>
Pointless result of a decent philosophical something.
