There's no such word as "skematic". If you meant "schematic" then you're misusing the term. If you meant "schema", then I don't think it clearly communicates what you're trying to say.
​
I think most people would agree with you that clearly defining terms is important, but just as important is using terms in a manner consistent with their meanings.
​
Except for the odd terminology this is a good opening post. If you can modify Message 1 (click the edit button) to fix the terminology I'll give it another look. Post a note here when you're done.

When you were using the word "skematic" I was free to read into it whatever made sense to me. Now that you're using the word "demonstration" I'm unable to get a clear picture of what you're saying. Are you trying to say that claims should be supported with evidence?

Okay, thanks, I think I have a pretty good picture of what you're trying to say, so I'll go ahead and promote this.
​
To those responding in this thread: Please be sure to read Message 5, as I believe it contains the most clear exposition of TheNaturalist's position.
