Not very good start, doc.
This may imply that your entire books of "knowledge"
are nothing more than pure obscenities.
Afterall, if it is all arbitrary, then what can you claim?

And they are that which you KNOW about a particular subject
or area of interest.
Definitions represent your combined understanding at this
junction of the issues at hand.

No definition, you have pure faith.

And here ya go. "Useful".
And that opens a can of worms.
Useful for what?
For what purpose?
For whose interest?
