Wrong definition, try again. "Effective" has multiple meanings in
english, one of them being "existing in fact, not theorical, real".
Check wordnet, it's getting impressively usable nowadays.
In other words, "effective"'s meaning can either move towards
"efficient" or "actual/existing", depending on the context.
