did you miss the word 'injure' when you read the description? and injury doesnt have to mean 3rd degree burns.

NOPE but is a shock collar injuring or annoying?. Could you explain how the Oxford dictionary is correct but the Merriam Webster dictionary is wrong? Or is that just how you dismiss peoples truths by finding a dictionary that has a definition more to your liking?

why do i need to explain how passing an electric current thru body tissue causes injury? seems to be fairly obvious, regardless of how small the current is.

Why dismiss your dictionary reference? because it misses out an important part of the description. and infact electrocution has nothing to do with execution, electrocution simply happens to be one method used in the barbaric practice of execution - i find it disturbing that execution is included, let alone used as the initial description of the word!

The Oxford Dictionary, is, the English language - i dont need any more reason than that to use it over any other dictionary

By your logic every time i would move any muscle in my body I'm doing harm. Do you happen to know that our body produces and has close to 10 watts flowing through it? How is the Oxford dictionary the English language? That's all you can say now that your arguments flaws have been addressed.

none of this has anything to do with my argument against negative reinforcement, the science speaks for itself - you are more interested in arguing semantics than address that particular issue and yes, I studied Human Biology.
