At, you said,
"A resource is anything owned such that something can be taken from it.
This is a linguistic fact - the meaning of the word resource."
Linguistically, my dictionary says it comes from the French resourdre,
which means to arise anew or to spring up. It refers to the reality that
a resource is anything that one can turn to in time of need or emergency.
There is no implication of ownership.
[Host's Note: So... At is saying a resource is something that is depleted
through use. And, reading a bit between the lines of Rol's, a resource
might be anything that can be employed to accomplish a purpose. ..Rick]
