"clearcut" and "you know it when you see it" seem like polar opposite concepts to me.
- pritambaral 7y agoIf you know something the very moment you see it, then that fact is "clear" to you. That is the general meaning of "clearcut".
- mtmickush 7y agoClearcut is something that is easily / sharply defined. If you only know something when you see it then that thing is by its very nature not easily defined / loosely defined. These are opposite things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it
- pritambaral 7y agoHmm, I see I was wrong.
