Of course I have an idea.

Convince me that you are referring to the same thing I am referring to.

Define it.

Because maybe you aren't referring to the same thing I am referring to.

Define it.

A definition might be a good start.

Right. So no. I'm not about to potentially define every single term we use.

Nobody is asking you to define every single term.

I only asked you for one.

What reason do I have to believe that you won't potentially ask for a definition of every single term? (And no, you pledging as much wouldn't be sufficient.)

What would be sufficient?

Completely different behavior from you over a length of time--say a number of weeks spent interacting with you.

Define "good".
