About @mark 's usage of the word "mung"

says ...
i notice that mark refers to what i say as a “mung” when i have re-factored the terms … combining some and distinguishing others in a way that mark himself is not familiar. or when i say that something that mark held as distinct, is really some aspect of something else. Whereas it is a factoring or a gestalt that i recognize (or imagine) that he does not. like the classical example: “the morning star IS the evening star” ← if i said that, and mark was not already keenly aware of the appearance of the planet, he would call it a “mung”.
My complaint with mark’s usage here is that he always expressess his complaint as a aug … not merley a disagreement as to what some term refers … but rather a distinct distaste for my factoring itself ← er, which was in fact the very thing that i was expressing.
it is not about what you claim to mean here mark … it is what i hear when you say “mung” that i thought would be useful information to you. i hear that just because those are always the situations that obtain when you use the word.
