Talking about our, state, local I disagree.

Then you are wrong!

The term "scope" can be characterized as dynamic OR static, it has compilation and runtime aspects.

True. But that has no affect on how those keywords affect scope.

• our limits visibility, not scope.

  our only affects dynamically scoped variables. Their scope remains global, our just makes them visible within the current lexical context.

• state persists scope, not limits it.

  It allows a lexical variable to retain its value beyond its lexical lifetime. It extends rather than restricts it.

• local limits scope temporarially, but not reliably.

  If you localise a (dynamic) var, but then call some sub or method that uses it without localising it, you get screwed over.

But since we both exactly know how they work

Hm. Do you? It doesn't seem that way.

I'll quit this discussion

Good idea.
