Oh, I like all of those things, and I think they're important. But in this argument specifically, neither of us can hope to know what the original word use was supposed to be, nor do we have any way of properly finding out. Any exchange we have about it- and the previous ones have borne this out- will be nothing more than "Is too!"/"Is not!" from both sides until one of us tires.
Not really worth discussing this word meaning, in the end.
