Thank you.

The group who have defined an event with intent and required specifications are telling us, by definition, the event isn’t happening. ‘When the rate of water falling from the sky exceeds two inches per hours, it is flooding.’

The public are saying something is happening and stealing a word from the first group and telling them they’re wrong. ‘It’s below 30 degrees out and this white stuff falling from the sky is accumulating. It’s flooding!’

The public is also attempting to argue that if the defined event is not taking place, the word used to describe the event is more than sufficient to define their event while they’re placing blame upon the first group for allowing the event to take place.
