“The answer is a little unfortunate, because what they were trying to do is teach a definition of what is energy. But nothing whatever is learned.” The understanding of *definition* of a a word works on the realm of communication btw people as well as the *borders* of a concept
What do you mean by "working on the realm of communication between people" and "borders of a concept" here? This is going meta lol

Definitions are for understanding consensus use of a symbol (Eg when I was a child I used the word “pervert” thinking it meant “prey” which caused lots of confusion for everyone. I had knowledge of the concepts, tho mislabeled). Can learn knowledge & definition in different order

You can easily learn the concept before the label for it, but if you learn the label before the concept, you just have some phonemes or a scribble. If you think you have any more than that, you're tricking yourself in the way I discussed above
