You just used "willful" in your last post. Which means someone
read his Word of the Day calendar!
Why are you even arguing?
"No!  Words aren't supposed to communicate and, anyway, science
isn't supposed to be more exact than two nimords at the car wash!"
Try this:  "Yeah, know what?  You're right again!"

misunderstand the meaning of words

So I'm "Misunderstanding" the meaning of the word "Universal"
as "Universal."
Let's quote the story:
To apply this theory to the rest of the universe, we don’t have to go far, either. “[A]biotic synthesis of aromatic amino acids might be possible in the water–rock interface of Enceladus’s subsurface ocean,” the scientists explain. That’s only as far as Saturn. Maybe a Solar System block party is closer than we think.
Gee, no confusion between "Universal" in reference to the earth alone
and "Universal" used to reference THE UNIVERSE in the same piece...
You're so freaking thirsty for a "Win" that you constantly
argue idiocy! And the truly pathetic part?  There isn't even
anything to win!
You made yourself look like a shithead for nothing.
Science uses a lot of stupid language and this is an example.
