That's stupid. "Typically" is not an exclusion.

Maybe not to idiots.
Thesaurus entries further proving my point: parent noun you'll need the signed consent of a parent mother, father, birth/biological parent, progenitor; adoptive parent, foster-parent, step-parent, guardian; literary begetter. ancestor noun 1 he could trace his ancestors back to colonial Boston forebear, forefather, predecessor, antecedent, progenitor, primogenitor. antonym descendant, successor. 2 the instrument is an ancestor of the lute forerunner, precursor, predecessor. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

"Square matrices typically don't have zero determinant" does not exclude matricies from having zero determinant.
And you apparently don't know what any of those other words under "ancestor" mean either. Most, if not all, of them can be used to describe parents. ~~~ |

You have forgotten the point of the argument, which means you have also lost.

Yeah, calling a father an ancestor seems so wrong...

Yes, it is. Ancestor is not a synonym for parent.

I never said it was. Rather, "biological parent" is a subset of "ancestor".

Only if it's "biological parent of a biological parent of a biological parent of a biological parent."

Except that all the proof you've shown towards me being wrong actually didn't prove anything for you, other than that "parent" and "ancestor" both have "progenitor" as a synonym.

Language doesn't work like mathematics, Rai, you can't apply the transitive property in language. Licentious* = corrupt, corrupt = venal**, does licentious = venal? No.
* Licentious is to be sexually promiscuous. ** Venal means prone to bribery. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.
