2. Reason / D. Definition / 2. Aims of Definition
A definition should allow the defined term to be eliminated [Horsten]
     Full Idea: A definition allows a defined term to be eliminated in every context in which it appears.
     From: Leon Horsten (The Tarskian Turn [2011], 04.2)
     A reaction: To do that, a definition had better be incredibly comprehensive, so that no nice nuance of the original term is thrown out.
