Default One at a time - the kind of definition Neried insists on seeing

To avoid an all too common occurance, let's take your claims one by one, shall we Jerry?

I'm particularly interested in the part about what a certain "Neried" insists on seeing in any plausible alternative.

Please be as specific as you can in your reply Jerry.
Your reply did not seem to answer this question; perhaps it was unclear, so let me try again ...

1) What "kind of definition" does "Neried" insist "on seeing in any plausible alternative"?

2a) I gather from your reply that, in your view, "the current standard model" is astronomy based on Newtonian or GR gravity; is that so?

2b) If so, why is astronomy based on modern quantum theory not mentioned?

3) More generally, what is this "current standard model" you refer to?
