That way they can play games and not have to accept the full implications of what evolution is . They can just cut it off at a point that's ideologically convenient ."oh i'll accept X can change but that does not mean humans are related to non humans etc etc "
Sure, but it doesn't mean they're right. No matter how detailed an explanation or definition you create (hah), creationists will always just deny it. That's not the fault of a concise definition that creationists will attack it. You could link to a 50 page article defining every facet of evolution and they'd still just say "nah!"
