Re: jbovlaste example.



I'm not versed enough to weigh in on the formation of lujvo, so I'm 
not trying to dispute that.

In the entry it comments that, "vacuum is never completely empty".  
The definition of vacuum is that it is completely empty.  Just as the 
definition of zero gravity is the complete absence of gravity (or the 
forces of).  Just because we've never observed a perfect vacuum or 
the lack of gravity, shouldn't affect the meanings of the words.  We, 
as speakers, should accurately call orbit conditions "micro-gravity" 
and refrain from alluding to a lack of gravity.  We, as speakers, 
should also note that space is a near vacuum.

Just because unicorns don't actually exist doesn't mean the 
definition of unicorn is wrong.
