::This is not the route I wanted to go down, so this is the last note I'll make on the subject: In some senses, the word can be used as you are using. Still, other definitions, such as "the realization of potential" & "the supposed vital principle that guides he functioning of an organism or system" have absolutely no relation to the idea you're trying to communicate. It's important to realize, this is a philosophy term, & philosophers often spend pages upon pages elaborating on what they mean. Saying, "It can't be argued" just would not hold up under serious scrutiny.[[User:Neo Bahamut|Neo Bahamut]] 15:00, 19 March 2012 (UTC) | ::This is not the route I wanted to go down, so this is the last note I'll make on the subject: In some senses, the word can arguably be used as you are using.

Saying, "It can't be argued" is fine if the other person doesn't care enough to pursue the issue, but it just would not hold up under serious scrutiny.[[User:Neo Bahamut|Neo Bahamut]] 15:00, 19 March 2012 (UTC) | ||
