Communications Theory:
"The degree of effectiveness of communication is proportional to the degree of exactness of commonly accepted definition of meanings of the words used. This statement is a corollary of my long-held working assumption that a problem adequately stated is a problem fundamentally ripe and potential of solution.
“In seeking definitive meanings I recognize, of course that Heisenberg’s principle of indeterminism forestalls absolute exactness. However, the tolerance of error is reducible. Ergo; we may approach exactitude in progressive degree. Ergo: what I mean by mutual comprehension of meanings is statable only in terms of approximately exact meanings.”
