Can't we aaccept that the "definition" is complex and has evolved over time? Arguing over what the 'true' meaning is of a word that clearly has multiple modes of meaning seems like a waste of time, and picayunish.
If there is one TRUE definition, I think a source should be offered for it; otherwise it's really just a long-winded opinion.
