I know the "processed food" thing is the heap paradox because the amount of processing isn't naturally a binary, but what are your "let's just substitute a different word here" claims based on?



"When do grains of sand become a heap" is a good analogue to it.

"what are your "let's just substitute a different word here" claims based on?"

Being annoyed that even when the comment is "people love to poke holes in obvious truths, especially in well educated spaces like HN." HN commenters begin to poke holes in an obvious truth- that there even is such a thing as processed foods. It'd be like arguing that heaps of sand don't exist because it's not "cogent concept"
