This reminds me of philosophical discourse.
First, define what it is that we are defining, and whether or not definition is contextually possible per se. Now define what it means to measure them, if measurement itself (etc.)
In the right frame of mind you can prove or disprove anything, and argue it endlessly, especially if it comes down to interpretation of quantitative data based on qualitative systems of measure.
