You're the one being disingenuous. The issue here isn't related to the word "addiction" vs. "dependence".
This issue is the use of the word "physical", which you seem to be deliberately avoiding offering any explanation for.
Tik Tok cannot be physically addictive, because "physical addiction" is exclusively related to physical substances, like alcohol, recreational drugs, and medications. You cannot physically consume Tik Tok and become chemically addicted to it.
One could become addicted to the stimulation of Tik Tok, or dependent on it emotionally, but they literally cannot become physically addicted to or dependent on it unless "Tik Tok" is actually a slang term for a drug or something...
Nah not reading your wall of text.
Nothing I said was wrong, terms aren't even professionally defined
You have a condescending shitty attitude grow up
In the scientific and medical world in which these things are relevant, words absolutely mean things. Good lord...
then why didn't you use the medical term? because I mentioned it
now go away you're sweating and pissing all over the carpet
