Dan, Wexler said, "About the only thing that got my attention recently was when Howie Epstein M.D. explained to me that even though GUMM's phony cold medication is labeled as Homeopathic, it really isn't Homeopathic. I didn't bother asking the next logical question: i.e. how can you possibly trust anything on the label then? I didn't want to suspend my disbelief for another hour as I read through his 10,000 word reply."
As you know, I merely cut and pasted the first two Q&A segments from www.gumminvestors.com over on Anthony's thread

I think this demonstration for the lack of understanding of operationally used definitions, in this case defined by the U.S. Government, shows an unwillingness to understand an issue. The U.S. government also has definitions of "income" and "capital gains" for tax purposes, has definitions of "underserved" regarding populations and their medical facilities, and "bank" for financial institutions. Thus, laws are written that place certain taxes on certain types of income, define who benefits from government medical programs and allow credit unions that fill the functions of banks to be controlled under different sets of laws.
I think that most people understand these definitions and their necessity and thus also understand the explanation provided in the link regarding Zicam's labelling.
If they do not, and do not understand operationally defined definitions or even homonyms, they are likely to be disappointed when they attend a specific political party's function and do not find a celebration going on (hey, this is not much of a party!, try to eat live a big red furry dog ( hey man, someone told me that was their chow, and also tries to open up shop in a bathroom or doggie park (hey, they told me that's where the business is done).
Yes, it is that comical. They can't talk about slim sales truthfully and they can't talk about profitability, and they can't talk about not finding a nicotine partner. They do not understand operationally defining words that the FDA does, but they do not mind situationally defining ethics when it comes to truthfulness about a company.
