[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I do not know if circular definition is the best way to describe what what we are saying.

When we flip a coin before the start of a soccer game there are only two outcomes (actually three: I actually had the coin land on its edge this summer before the start of an AAU tournament baseball game): H(eads) or T(ails). When the flipped coin lands H up that means T was down and vice versus. This is no different than the logic we used to describe incidental contact and illegal contact.
