No. I never suggested that you need a fixed definition. I'm objecting to the claim that there is a fixed definition at all. And because there are no fixed definitions, despite the fact that people will point at dictionaries when defining words, the definition of words must be agreed upon before the words can be used. Which is what you said. I think I need to work on clarity.
And I have a background in computer programming, too.

Toyotas are not authorities. I don't see how they could conceivably be reliable as authorities.

It amuses me that you decided not to ask. Or to provide your own. But I guess that would have made your post too long?
