Voting "Other" on questions that seem to you confused or seem to turn on irrelevant matters of small definitions, rather than making up a definition and running with it, etcetera, is probably a good barometer of LW-vs.-philosophy opinion.

I doubt it. In my experience, if you allow a "Please specify" answer, philosophers will pick that for practically any distinction.
