You keep saying this, but provide no evidence from a UK dictionary that this is the case. I've provided evidence that I'm correct (Cambridge University Press if you remember), I'm waiting for you to confute it.Perhaps in your world, but not in mine, or in the dictionary.

I posted the entry from the Concise Oxford.
Perhaps it was deleted.

Was the Oxford English dictionary JP quoted earlier not UKish enough.
I may read the rest of this thread later.
Edit: Apologies, I may also start refreshing before I interject.

Britannica gives us
1 : to prove wrong by argument or evidence : show to be false or erroneous
2 : to deny the truth or accuracy of <refuted the allegations>
Which would make the requirement of proof the first and therefore main definition.
It would also make you wrong in what you said to j2.

Shall we see what the concise Oxford has to say on the subject.
Refute - Prove falsity or error of (statement, opinion, argument, person advancing it). Rebut or repel by argument.

Have you any thing slightly more British than the Encyclopedia Britannica.
