Nota bene: As with all of my glossary posts, my intent is to define how I use these terms on this website/blog. My usage may or may not be what you mean when you use them but I invite you to consider my writing in these terms. That does not mean that you’re required to agree with me, of course. Also, because I am continuously exposed to new information, I will occasionally encounter information which escapes my confirmation bias and compels me to grow, shift, and change my understanding.
