But elemental titanium doesn't occur in nature in the first place, so the straining of terminology seems ill-founded unless we want to call my titanium spoon supernatural as well.

- Brian_K_White 3y agoIt does occur in nature. Every chunk of it that exists, is currently existing in nature. The fact that usually, on earth, it's always in some compound and we have to extract it by some process is irrelevant. That does not make distilled titanium "supernatural", merely organized. We took some mixed stuff and seperated it into unmixed stuff. A pile of graded pebbles all the same size is not spernatural.
- thfuran 3y ago>That does not make distilled titanium "supernatural", merely organized Supernaturally organized and supernaturally spoon-shaped if we're to accept the parent's terminology. Which, you'll note, I have not suggested we should do.
- mym1990 3y agoRight, my mistake, the definition of supernatural I would like to take is actually referring to the strength of the material, and not the material itself. In my original comment I made a reference to both of those things, but side by side the definitions are confusing.
