Nonsense

[ringbark]

Well, it's been a long time since I posted here, but still...

I read LJ very regularly, and someone (you know who you are) just described a claim as "arrant nonsense". ¿So, wisdom of LJ, what is the difference between "patent nonsense", which I speak, and "arrant nonsense", which my friend speaks?

I'd say patent nonsense is obviously nonsense, and arrant nonsense is morally culpable nonsense.
(Saw this in my friends-of-friends page, decided to comment if no one else did.)

Is Patent Nonsense a nonsense that is considered intellectual property by the US Patents Office?
