  13. I am often tempted to use the MeSH headings for definitions BUT few are
  14. aware of their source.  Therefore, I feel that using Stedman's, Dorland's
  15. etc. is more acceptable for definitions than using MeSH scopenotes because
  16. the dictionaries are considered reputable and authoritative.
