    You are interpreting way too much in what i said. I don’t get why you got so offended by me pointing out that for me in the context “being” does not just entail “conscious beings”. Also looking back at the dictionary under 1 a “the quality or state of having existence” and 1 b “something that is conceivable and hence capable of existing…” it provides even more abstract definitions.

    Otherwise i can just point out that a reliable dictionary is providing multiple definitions for a word shows that there isn’t such a clarity to proclaim that “only interpretation x makes sense”. At the very least not to the extend to attack someone as acting in bad faith when pointing out that the term is not precise.
