Editing Refer

To '''refer''' is to provide a link or connection to something else by way of argument.  For instance, a reference to a well-known theorem in a mathematics proof, or to a well-known troll in a [[User page]]".  Such references are usually "loaded" with meaning.

To refer is to deliberately neither [[infer]] nor [[defer]]:  by referring to some other set of claims, one is NOT deferring to their authority but inviting comment and debate.  One is also NOT justifying the internal logic of any of [[the other]]'s argument, simply stating that the argument exists in that form.

[[Naming convention]]s are the most basic questions in reference and identity.
