I could have been using 'world' in the context of 'version of reality outside of this boat' and I would posit in return that utilizing 'dimension' is similarly problematic for those who come from a version of reality where multiple dimensions or timelines are to be found and can be traversed as you mention traversing through space. In short: no one term will fit everyone, unfortunately.
In this case, however, I was speaking of 'world' in the sense of 'the social and political circles which you inhabit', as having magic in one's version of reality does not mean that one has the ability to use it, that it is practiced openly, or that it is politically advantageous to admit interest in such things. That was a guess, but that guess did come from some observation.
For what it's worth, as I told you, I tend to treat magic as a science in practice.
As for assuming that you expel waste, I did not: one does not know when one will be caught trapped in one's cabin with another. And if that is the case, then being caught without such a facility would be even more upsetting, I should think.

...but I'm glad to see you've been taken care of.
