It's more like you're using it as some sort of 'Authority' or definitive base line. Is all.
Which, as people have pounted out, a dictionary is more like a 'Guide line' of how general language use is mutually agreed upon.
Do you believe everything people point out? That's why you do research. It someone tells you something, check it out for yourself.
A "dictionary" is an authority for defining terms. That's what we were looking at. Defining a term. If you ask someone to define something, then complain because they used a definition from the dictionary, then it sounds pretty ridiculous. Then why even ask them for a definition? Why not give your own definition, then move from there? If I look for a definition, I'm not going to assume there's a specific one you want. I just go to something that is objective, and relatively unbiased, and that's what I share.
Wrong. Words do not have intrinsic meanings, they have usages. You are being asked which usage you intend because that may or may not match with others.
It is no different than your magic sky fairy claims. You are entirely happy to claim what god is or is not right up until you are challenged. Then you revert to the "interpretation" baloney.
