    Off-topic. But what is

    >the same useful way we approximate the speed of light in relativity.

    in reference to?

      Just an analogy that emphasizes reflexivity. Words and light in this case. Maybe a stretch?

        Relativity is not about approximating the speed of light. So yes, probably a distracting stretch. YMMV.

          Fair enough. Loose analogy straight from my own neuralese. Corrected.
