What is your definition? My point for the post was to get to the question which you must dodge to stay in this conversation which is, "why you would ever want to "Read uncommitted data", or, to ask it another way, why would you want the isolation level of "read uncommitted" to ever be supported?

Your answer to the question will be, "Because I don't want my reading process to get blocked by some other writing process".
