What you are really saying is that a definition of "classic" is not a good definition unless it includes all the books
you believe are "classics", and excludes all those
you don't consider "classics".
I agree with you in principle, because from now on it means that the expression "greatest football team of all time" means Geelong and only Geelong.
Perhaps we could come to some arrangement where we divide all of the world's adjectives 50/50, so that I get to define half of them, and you the other half.
