There seems to be a major misunderstanding going on here. The purpose of this thread was to try to explain
my definition of “an explanation” and I was intending to cover objection to that definition.

I have no intention of objecting to your definition. If you have something important which you can deduce from your definition, have at it. I was taking your comments to be objections to my definition which apparently was not your intention. So this whole thread is based on misunderstanding.
It appears that the thread has become a place for people to present (or work out) their personal definitions of “an explanation”: i.e., quite analogous to the “Spacetime” thread. I now understand lemit's post

Am I right?

I think lemit is quite right!
So, since this thread is not concerning itself with the issue I tried to bring up, I will abandon it to you all and start another (on another day) which might be more to the point I was trying to bring up.
