24 September 1998 - effectivizationality

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Q. Is it better to write “effectivizationality” or “effectualificationism”?

A. The classical answer was to use the two interchangeably, but this old-fashioned technique is no longer adequate. The correct approach is to assign, differently for each document, a subtle technical distinction between the two, and demand that the definitions be obeyed precisely.
