Is there a point somewhere in there?
Yes. You wrote,

Develop what? The concept of love refers to a set of emotional states. Flexibility of definition would be applying in to certain other emotional states that it doesn't normally apply to. Applying to to something fundamentally different is not being "flexible" its being foolish. There is nothing else to develop.
