In my experience, this only leads to madness.
What is a 'player'? What is a 'vote'? What
is 'English'? Can we define these things in
some manner that isn't, eventually, circular?
But, hey, give it a shot if you want. I won't
prima facie vote against anything that defines=20
any of those terms.
(Reference to 'real' law: At least one person
has challenged Canadian tax law on the basis
that it never defines what a 'dollar' is, nor
is that defined anywhere else in the corpus
of law. He lost.)
