Settle a strange question: Is a watch an organon?

[Maulik]

I'm glad the board is in accord with what I laid out and a watch being an organon. Shadymilkman is dogmatic and will not often back down, in the case its clear he should. Thanks guys.

thanks mermade, thats the most helpful thing said so far. KJS on the other hand your taking it a bit too far, the knowledge/observation of the shoe is static, you never have to observe it again, maybe initially. why thats different from a watch is in so much that its a measurement. its different everytime you look at it. why isnt a watch a good example physical embodiement of a set/system of principles, yet a book is?

please elaborate about the situation and just say thats not what i think it means. that means just as much to me as me saying i think it means something else to you (in this particular case the majority of you think that im wrong, and i couldnt care less, just a bunch of opinions which is why i didnt want to use a message board to clarify). it at this point is a matter of interpretive opinion.

well all i have to say is that i disagree with the sentiments of this board. the forum (your home turf, which i told you what they would say, you knew it, i knew it, its the internet, no one here is an authority on etymology...) is not what i consider an accurate assessment of an interpretation of a/this definition. i have now taken the time to ask an authority and im waiting hopefully for an answer. whether im right or wrong you all will know. (i hope tha ti asked the right address).

maulik ill address you about that last post IRL. but suffice to say, thats dismissive.

You could use a shoe to measure how much walking someone has been doing, for instance.

Is a blade of grass an organon? Why not?
