Enlightened [Elitist] Agnosticism

[Pizza]

I don't understand why people can't just accept that words are vague and ambiguous.

This just what Webster's dictionary says. If you look at other dictionaries you will get other other definitions.

Dictionaries just record what the common definitions of word are. Many lexical definitions are vague. So getting mad at people for calling themselves agnostic not atheist is pointless.
