Category mismatch(as used in logic and argumentation): A logical problem where two things being compared belong to fundamentally different types or classes, making the comparison unreliable or invalid.
Dated(as used in metaphysics): Occurring at a specific moment in time; time-bound, meaning something happens at a particular point rather than being timeless.
Foundational objection(as used in philosophy of logic and argumentation): A criticism that goes to the very root of an argument or theory, showing a basic flaw rather than just a small problem at the edges.
Ontological: "Ontological" refers to questions about what actually exists or is real. It's concerned with the fundamental nature of being—asking "What kinds of things are there?" rather than "How do we know about them?" For example, an ontological question might be whether numbers, ideas, or God actually exist as real things, or if they're just human inventions.
