   Well, they seem to be able to prove correct theorems about it, and   
   generate useful, testable, interesting, correct results on that basis.   
   That usually indicates that somebody knows what he's talking about.

   Since you deny their definition, and don't supply one of your own,   
   you're therefore talking about nothing whatsoever.  ;)
