Which 2nd law, Phil? Not the one generally recognised by the scientific
community, as discussed earlier. It rather reminds me of scene in "Through
the Looking Glass" where Alice meets Humpty Dumpty:
 ...There's glory for you!' [said Humpty Dumpty]
`I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. `Of course you don't -- till I tell
you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!"'
`But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument",' Alice objected.
`When *I* use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it
means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'

Sound familiar?
