   This has been my primary research focus since 1997.   
   I will try to sum this up succinctly.   
      
   Expressions of language pertaining to physical reality   
   can never be logically certain because they depend on   
   underlying assumptions that are not logically certain.   
      
   The meaning of some words can be logically certain when   
   these meanings are fully contained in the meanings of   
   other words that define them.   
      
   Part of the meaning of the word "cat" is that cats are   
   animals. When referring to the conventional meaning of   
   these terms anyone that says cats are not animals is   
   objectively incorrect.
