Add topicThird meaning unclear
[edit]The definition for the third meaning (“In essence, but not in fact”) is not clear: indeed, when clicking on the link toward “In essence” in an attempt to determine the distinction between essence and fact, we are told that in essence is a synonym for essentially, which on its own page is said to be a synonym for factually. Thus if I am not mistaken, according to this in essence is synonymous to in fact; therefore the definition is nonsensical. If anyone understands this definition, please provide an example for it; I am certain it will greatly help understanding the meaning. --Anareth (talk) 09:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

As pointed out by someone (with an RFV tag which I converted to RFC), "the example uses the word indictable which is a legal, not an algebraic term". - -sche (discuss) 17:56, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Done Fixed: it meant indicable. Equinox ◑ 18:06, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
