Defining something into existence doesn't work.
You can define something OUT of existence... or perhaps a more accurate way to put it would be there are some things that can't be defined because they're logically incoherent... E.g. a square circle or libertarian free will given by a God that knows the future in a deterministic universe....
Defining something into existence doesn't work because that's merely labelling something that already exists with a word referring to something that doesn't.
