That kinda depends on the circumstances, but I'll try to stop arguing after this reply

Nobody knows the limit

I'm not sure, but let's say that's true. They usually also don't care to know the limits. Another interesting case is Patricia Stallings (emphasis mine):

an American woman who was wrongfully convicted of murder after the death of her son Ryan on September 7, 1989. Because testing seemed to indicate an elevated level of ethylene glycol in Ryan's blood, authorities suspected antifreeze poisoning, and arrested Stallings the next day. She was convicted of murder in early 1991, and sentenced to life in prison.

Stallings gave birth to another child while incarcerated awaiting trial; this next child was diagnosed with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), a rare genetic disorder that can mimic antifreeze poisoning. Prosecutors initially did not believe that the sibling's diagnosis had anything to do with Ryan's case. Stallings' lawyer was forbidden from producing available evidence as proof of the possibility. After a professor in biochemistry and molecular biology had some of Ryan's blood samples tested, he was able to prove that the child had also died from MMA, and not from ethylene glycol poisoning.

Hey, isn't it an absolutely impossible scenario not grounded in reality at all not even resembling what happens now

That doesn't make it a part of another language though, which is what I was thinking of.

But you're right, as long as communication is successful, it is a language, I guess

Makes me wonder what is a critical amount of people to use a word for it to realify

I don't think it's that rare, students in (almost?) every country need to live somewhere for cheap and living in the same room is cheap usually

Got it, if ungovernable, it's a vegetable

I believe the point is non-sweet, tomatoes are often quite sweet without any cooking required

Well, I see the point, but even if they do something about it, they will never not be a narcissist. Same as if I am a sober alcoholic, I remain an alcoholic with all the pitfalls of being one even if I evade those

Yeah, their position is unlikely to change. I may not like people with this condition, but you're right that it is not a choice
