Note from me: You'll notice none of these definitions includes 'useful', 'helpful', 'interesting', 'needed', 'popular', 'evidence-based', 'intellectually sound', 'based on well-thought-out intellectual principles', 'philosophically justifiable', or 'much in demand from those with an interest in the well-being of others'.
