I'm aware Jim Wynne has a habit of searching the internet for citations when he wants to refute something or someone to which he takes exception. In this case, though, I believe he is really stretching to defend his point of view. In some circles, this is called, variously,
isogesis or eisegesis - I'm never sure of the spelling - but it refers to the practice of selectively choosing only the citations which back one's original point of view and "conveniently" omitting contrary ones as if they don't exist. Often, it includes conferring "common sense" meanings to specialized words or terms or using a "modern" definition when a different meaning was in use at the time the original citation was created. Hence, an outrageous example of eisegesis might be to declare the word "knew" (used in the King James translation to refer to copulate or impregnate) means that ALL births were miraculous because "knew" in the "common sense" modern definition only refers to a level of acquaintance.
Summary:
I continue to maintain that, in the context of document management, "dispose" and "disposition," when used by experts, refer ONLY to the transfer of documents from one area (or control) to another. Further, that the term "destroy" is the term of choice when electronic or hard copy documents are to be permanently rendered unreadable or unrecoverable by anyone.
