First of all, it's Merriam-Webster, which is a dictionary, not an almanac.
Second, you clearly read none of the preceding context - it was to refute ColtF-15's assertion that inoculation and/or vaccination is a failure if anyone contracts any form of the disease.
Finally, I can tell you that I'll vote no on any TA that doesn't significantly improve our retirement plan in a measurable GUARANTEED way that is not market dependent. And, I know you already know this (because you said so), but in 25 years and three airlines, I have never voted yes to a contract - I'm up for a fight but nobody else ever seems to be.
