Incorrect terminology[edit]

FYI

– Section heading added by Undead Shambles (talk) 21:42, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is term is erroneous and requires further verification ( the current references are dead or not relevant to the subject ). There is often confusion between the term "litmus test" and "acid test". The former refers to a test that verifies the PH of a substance and has no metaphoric denotative qualities. The latter refers to a test that verifies the purity of gold and has a metaphoric correlative in the purity or quality of an idea. This page should be deleted or revised to reflect the common cultural error. Barnett Newman (talk) 03:42, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
