"It's not a natural phenomenon that
this mountain is higher then that mountain, "
You mean, Mt Everest isn't objectively taller than Mt. Washington (the "mountain" in the center of Pittsburgh PA?). So we can't make predictions about, say, air pressure at the summit of one versus the other? So it's somehow misleading and dangerous to talk about the altitude of your destination "compared to" your current location?
The idea that relationships are somehow artificial and dangerous and need to be taken out of "basic definitions" in science is and always has been (for years now) Syamsu's bizzare Holy Grail. I have long stopped following his threads except for occasionally checking in just to be reassured, that yes, the world is still turning and yes, Syamsu is still flogging that same dead horse. As far as I can tell, Syamsu only has about 3 different posts that he just writes and rewrites. Three might be generous.
