As I explained in my previous post - not my point. Value of any car would be the same. I am not arguing that it decrease value of the thing that word describes. I am arguing that it decrease value of the word itself.
Meaning that when you say "I have an automobile" it means that you have at least beat up honda and after definition change it could mean that you don't even have beat up honda, only old carriage. Value of beat up honda would be the same, but value of word "automobile" itself would be decreased.
Thats 2 different things and kane is arguing the first thing while I am arguing the second.
