I often have an issue where I get frustrated by how the thoughts I express do not seem to adequately match the thoughts that I'm thinking.  If I understood why that happened, maybe I could do something about it.  Is it that I change my mind about things a lot?  I do change my mind about certain things a lot, especially since I am always trying to think of things from new angles and learning new information about them.  At the same time, while that might be the case sometimes, I suspect it is not always the issue. Or that it's hard to adequately express certain ideas with words.  Sometimes I wish there were better ways to express things than words.  There are different ways, like with images, but while that may be better for expressing some ideas, such a medium still has some of the same limitations as words, and words can more adequately express certain ideas than images can.  I think that part of it is that I'm a lazy writer and adequately conveying some of my thoughts would take way more time and effort than I tend to be willing to expend. 

Anyway, I want to work on this issue.  I considered deleting and not posting this because it wasn't quite expressing what I wanted.  But the irony of that induces me to keep this.

I've come to dislike the word 'debunking' because it has the same connotation to me as when someone says they've 'crushed' their opponents argument.  I personally prefer 'refute' to 'debunk' because I feel that it has a more neutral connotation and denotation.  Also I just looked up both words and I definitely still feel this way, even if neither meant quite exactly what I thought they did.
