As I said: I don't mind being corrected, please correct fully along with how that impacts whether or not software then appears in physical form!

As you only stated my use of wording was wrong, and nothing more, you're missing:

    A: what you would feel the correct wording to be
and
    B: how you feel that would impact whether software moves from the abstract into the physical
So by all means, please finish your message.

If you do not wish to continue then I must conclude your attempt to show software moved into the physical as having failed.

Of course, I'm assuming that was your intent because you left your message rather bare.

Come on fellow developers:

    If any Lawyers decide to take up the challenge of providing a single piece of evidence to try and show software has moved into the physical from the abstract
then
    I'll be hard pressed to deal with their deliberately obfuscating words
I ask you to show courtesy and not make the task of the underlying heart of the message of this thread any more difficult.

Said message being:

    Software never reaches a state where it changes from the abstract into the physical!
Toggle was obviously the wrong word, yet a basic definition of toggle is:
    Switch from one effect, feature, or state to another
Now you say Switch is the wrong word. As a noun:
    A device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit
As a verb:
    Change the position, direction, or focus of.
So you tell me what wording you would suggest and how that impacts where the electronic signal which we would define as carrying the meaning of software has altered in such a way that it takes on a physical presence.

Thank You!
