He's not even defining it well, because he shows there's multiple definitions and then just assumes that because his preferred definition is present in that set, therefore it's the relevant one. Huggy's entire argument, for most things, is basically that it's possible, in some highly specific, obviously contextually inappropriate way, that he's right, and therefore he's definitely right.
Boiled down, it's: "I can spin whatever you say so that, if you're not bothered by tortured definitions and doublespeak, it matches what I want to be true. Therefore, that spin must be what you originally meant."

It's not that he's not listening, it's that he's waiting for a very specific, simplistic yes/no answer that he can slot into the strawman argument he's had constructed and waiting since the first time he asked. Something like "you're just closed minded to the possibility of god existing! You're irrational!"
