That's certainly one sense of homogeneity, but homogeneity is also, more generally, defined as follows: <blockquote> <b>homogeneity</b><br /> <i>n</i> 1: the quality of being similar or comparable in kind or nature; "there is a remarkable homogeneity between the two companies" [syn: homogeneousness] [ant: heterogeneity] 2: the quality of being of uniform throughout in composition or structure </blockquote> I mock your inability to realize that words that have very specific meanings in particular scientific fields can be used in different fashions in regular discourse. Bah! That’s certainly one sense of homogeneity, but homogeneity is also, more generally, defined as follows:

homogeneity
n 1: the quality of being similar or comparable in kind or nature; “there is a remarkable homogeneity between the two companies” [syn: homogeneousness] [ant: heterogeneity] 2: the quality of being of uniform throughout in composition or structure

I mock your inability to realize that words that have very specific meanings in particular scientific fields can be used in different fashions in regular discourse.
