I just did you a scientific prove that it would be more chaotic... Will you say that even that is non-sense ? <hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
Where did you do this scientific proof? It did not appear in your post.

Two problems with this assertion.
1. Gecko did not even stick to the definition, but rather added characteristics to make it easier to attack, thus creating a strawman.
2. Dictionaries are necessarily unreliable in capturing a specific notion. What the dictionary offered in this case was ALL uses of the word. Now since the assumption that anarchy is chaos is prevelant, it appears as part of the dictionary definition (even so there is no doubt that Gek had to search for a while to find such a definition). So with this assumption, which is not inherently part of anarchy, being added in prior to the examination, the entire argument becomes question begging. In other words the argument never stood a chance of being well reasoned, or leading to a true conclusion.
So we can clearly see that in two separate ways this was a strawman creation, which as we all also know is not only intellectual dishonest, it causes the strawman itself to be of no value.
