Refusing to use the proper definitions is an emotional stance, nothing else.
Again, you miss the point. When you know what they mean, why quibble about the word they choose to use (which is, at the very least, arguably valid - legal definitions aren't the only ones)? It's pretty clear what they mean by the word, so accept it in context and move on and address the points they are making. Anything else is sophomoric points-scoring.
