I didn't down-vote, but was tempted to. The original post seemed content-free. It felt like an attempt to start a dispute about definitions and not a very interesting one.

It had an additional flaw, which is that it presented its idea in isolation, without any context on what the author was thinking, or what sort of response the author wanted. It didn't feel like it raised a question or answered a question, and so it doesn't really contribute to any discussion.
