Default Criticism of the terms "Zero Gravity" and "Microgravity"

...as originally posted to, and subsequently removed from, the
Wikipedia article on Weightlessness:
Criticism of the terms "Zero Gravity" and "Microgravity"


Well, that section isn't right as a Wikipedia section, because of the
Neutral Point of View policy (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV ), and some others too
like verifiability. At least for me, it is easier to understand
weightlessness than it is to describe it. The Weightlessness article,
despite potential issues with terminology, does a pretty decent job,
for example saying "Weightlessness means a zero g-force or zero
apparent weight".
