136. Yes, we disagree.

I'm sorry that you find it laughable or dishonest to suggest that words have different meanings depending on context and frame of reference. Note that I did not suggest that you are wrong, only that you were looking at the word 'fake' from the perspective of your discipline and ignoring the way the word is understood outside of chemistry. I have a vocabulary with precise meaning within my discipline but have learned to accept that outside of it, those same words seem to have fuzzier edges.
