And Dr. Johnson defined a fish as 'an animal that inhabits the water.' Who are YOU to question him??

Um no, popular language is not the same as biological scientific language. Dolphins are mammals not fish. Mammals swim in water too, but that does not make them fish.
I'd say they should stop confusing people by mixing the two words. It is the same type of bullshit that confuses laypeople who think the word "theory" is just a guess, when in scientific terms it is not merely a guess.
Mixing those two words did cause this individual to claim it was not a mammal, so it is not wise to mix those words because dolphins are mammals.
