I don't think you get the point. Even dictionaries (which aren't an authority, by the way) can have definitions that are incoherent. After all, I think the definition of God or omnipotence in some dictionary might be incoherent. But the real point is that words are just placeholders for conveying information and concepts. The words have no inherent meaning, so you need to be discussing what's really being asked.
