    If it had a definition, it wouldn’t be nonsense, would it?

    It would depend on the definition in question. The term in a vacuum is just a collection of words — what those words mean is rather important, imo.

      Well, ok, turns out I wrote a definition of the next line.

      It’s a nonsensical economical theory, with no definition on the context of economics.

        […] no definition on the context of economics.

        Do you mean that, in your opinion, it has definitions in other contexts? If so, what would it be, and what would the contexts be?

        Hrm, if it has no definition in the context of economics, how could you know argue that, by its definition, it is a nonsensical economic theory? That seems to fail modus ponens.
