→Trimming {{fact}} tags: where has διαβάλλω ever been used a ''"to throw things around" in the sense of creating the chaos''?
::That's the problem here: Andy got an insight into the ''real'' meaning of διαβάλλω - and he is oblivious to the fact that no one else has ever understood the word in his way. Unfortunately, whenever Andy gets an insight, he tends to ignore things like a lexicon or a few hundred years of etymological science ... --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 16:13, 26 April 2018 (EDT)

:::Still thinking about this with an open mind, without being overly literal. Strong's was a brilliant work in the 1800s. "Slanderer" today does not connote the same thing that it connoted in the 1800s, and Strong's (like many Bible experts) sometimes overlooks or downplays physics-type meanings of terms.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 21:41, 26 April 2018 (EDT)

::::Andy, you do not only need to have an open mind, more importantly, you have to '''show us where διαβάλλω has ever been used a ''"to throw things around" in the sense of creating the chaos''!'''
::::This has nothing to do with "physics-type meanings of terms": you just made up a [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Devil&diff=722025&oldid=712065 new meaning] for a Greek word: the physics-type meaning" of διαβάλλω is "to throw sth. over sth.", "to throw sth. across sth.", "to carry sth. over sth.", or "to carry sth. across sth." (see above).
::::Megabates didn't wish to scatter his fleet, or to create chaos within it, in the ''Knights'', Cleon is not said to throw his opponent around.
::::If nobody but you has ever used the word διαβάλλω in the sense which you ascribed to it, what stops you from calling your "table" a "carpet"?
