Just had what is either a eureka moment or a moment of madness (bet on the latter).
The definition of nothing is irrelevant. Its a red herring.
When we say something came from nothing - sub-particles and particles appearing in space, for example, space is not the nothing we are referring to. We are referring to the nothing from which these particles came. In other words the contents of the space into which these particles and sub-particles appeared has increased by that amount. Nothing that was previously in the space (or anywhere else that we know of) has been used up or converted in the creation of said particles and sub-particles.
In reality its just another way of saying that they have spontaneously appeared without cause.
