La semántica distorsionada

«Terms like "terror," "aggression," etc., and other terms used to deal with human affairs are not defined well enough to yield an explicit answer for every situation. Nor should they be; precise definition makes sense only within far-reaching explanatory systems, where the precision matters. That's even been true in the history of mathematics. Law, domestic or international, is not a formal axiom system. To decide how to use the terms of political discourse, a good criterion is to ask how we would use them in the case of acts carried out by others, not when the blood is on our hands. It's a useful exercise.»
