​You're *ALWAYS* going to have ​
infinite regress
​ if you insist on sticking with definitions. Definitions are made of
words, and all those words have their own definitions also made of words,
and on and on we go for infinity. That's why I say examples are far FAR
more important than definitions;
 intelligent behavior
​is what Einstein did and rocks didn't.​
