Arn't you satisfied with my example? If no, that's because of your narrow definition. ---- I had to ask you what "MAR" was. I thought you said "walk on my errors (or scratches)" when you said "walk on MAR". Now I see that you repeat remarking "MAR". So I can now see that you were speaking of something real. Now What is 'MAR'? My dictionary tells me only followings, all of which doesn't seem to make any sense within your "example": mar [maːr] v.t. (marred, ∼ring) 《文》 …의(완전함외관체재아름다움 등을) 손상[훼손]하다, 망쳐놓다; …의 (매력효용 등을) 약화[감소] 시키다(▶ 손상하다」의 뜻으로는 up이 수반되는 일이 많음). · Strip mining mars the landscape. 노천 채굴이 경관을 손상시키고 있다. · My travels were marred by a traffic accident. 내 여행은 교통 사고로 엉망이 되어버렸다. · Don't mar up this table top. 이 테이블의 표면을 상하게 하지 마라. ☞ make[mend] or mar ⇒ MAKE (숙어) -- n. 손상시키는 것, 결점, 결함, 오점, 흠. mr (?), n. A small lake. See Mere. [Prov. Eng.] Mar, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Marred (mard); p. pr. & vb. n. Marring.] [OE. marren, merren, AS. merran, myrran (in comp.), to obstruct, impede, dissipate; akin to OS. merrian, OHG. marrjan, merran; cf. D. marren, meeren, to moor a ship, Icel. merja to bruise, crush, and Goth. marzjan to offend. Cf. Moor, v.] 1. To make defective; to do injury to, esp. by cutting off or defacing a part; to impair; to disfigure; to deface. I pray you mar no more trees with wiring love songs in their barks. Shak. But mirth is marred, and the good cheer is lost. Dryden. Ire, envy, and despair Which marred all his borrowed visage. Milton. 2. To spoil; to ruin. "It makes us, or it mars us." "Striving to mend, to mar the subject." Shak. Mar, n. A mark or blemish made by bruising, scratching, or the like; a disfigurement. Mar. maritime; married. Mar. March. --- Only one definition(small lake) seems to make any sense. Did you mean "I believe I can walk on a small lake"? by the example? Then the belief can be testified my practice. Not by logic. And why should NASA plan to send men to small lakes? That's an odd example. [2] Second example: "Some physicist believe there exists Unified Theory from their experiance on the mathematical symmetry of Field equations." Some may believe that. But existence of a 'right' theory is always tested by the validity of the theory, if the premise and conclusion of the theory itself do not contradict. So belief of that kind is illogical. ◇ ~~~_ _ ∴ ~|~| | _/__, SEP. 11. 2001 _ ∴∴ _ ~ | | ＼ ` Armorica under a tat ,-| `,-,_| |__ | | | A ______|_|__|_|___|__|| | |__|_|_____________________________________ |
