Still funny even now

"Testing of the model was in progress".

Just movement through a series of points in time.

I'm not sure what your point is, but if it is about the two definitions of progress, maybe I confused the issue a little.
When I first copied and pasted the definition, I accidentally copied a whole load of garbage with it, and I had to subsequently crop a lot of it out.
Here is the original. You'll see that both definitions refer to advancement.

I think durhamplumber is a little upset about being shown how ludicrous and twisted is his logic.

Not all progress is positive!

Not half as upset as you are for having your nonsense exposed for what it is.

It's a pizz take of the concept.
Wakey, wakey!

the US economy’s current condition of, ahem, “negative growth.” Negative growth? Why yes, that’s the opposite of growth, and it’s apparently quite a common bit of jargon in economics just now.​

See the different use of the words?
I doubt if you do.

Towards an objective, i.e. the completion of testing.

Yes Razzler.They are inter-changeable..my point..

Amazing how relevant after all these years the sketches still are.

It all depends what you consider as progress.
Was the result of 2016 referendum progress towards the UK leaving the EU.
If you voted leave then you would probably describe the 2016 result as positve progress.
If you are a remainer you won't describe it as progress, so it is up to the individual to make there own mind up as to what the would consider as progress.

The election of Boris Johnson was considered progress towards an objective i. e. the completion of the people's decision to leave the EU.

The definition of 'progress' implies improvement or advancement.

Yes we can disagree about what is considered change or progress. But that doesn't change the inherent definition of progress.
If you consider Brexit as an objective then you will see decisions or policies towards that objective as progress, otherwise, you'll see it as undesirable change.
It doesn't alter the inherent definition of the word 'progress', just because some view the alterations in a different light.
