"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone," it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master — that's all."
"Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic." — Alice through the Looking Glass, Louis Carroll
Many times when I review product data, I can't avoid the impression that the product descriptions were written by Humpty Dumpty following Tweedledee logic. So, “which is to be master?” That’s the challenge of product data quality.
