npub1pu7tyn4lajv927jh9fr6z0w2nvqjscrjf55es0gu5xsgp2nes99qn6pdj6 (npub1pu7…pdj6) I think rhetorics can have lengthy discussions about this - like, for example, if we say that "effective" = "producing *any* effect" doesn't that mean that literally *everything* is effective, and does that not invalidate having a word for it at all?
Wouldn't the reason we have a word like that be that we want a word to describe achieving an effect we agree upon to be beneficial?
Also, can evil be desirable? Why would we call it evil, then?
You know, et cetera...
