Wait goto statements in conversation are "simple"? I feel like you are punking me. Relevant xkcd.

OK I fixed it.

Discussion(*) would be so much simpler(**) if we could have verbal asterisks that'd point to references on how we define(***) our terms.

(*) actually I meant debates, but also discussions as a generalization of the idea I was trying to convey. However there needs to be a conflict and or a misunderstanding.

(**) can also be understood as shorter and that the previously mentioned conflicts would be faster to solve.

(***) Definitions change depending on the context, so we can't simply use a common dictionary.

Maybe I just suck at communication.
