Definitions are not "correct" or "incorrect" that's part of the point of the sequence on how to use words. Words can capture an intuition better or worse, or they can be useful categories, or they can communicate ideas well or not well, but they can't be correct or incorrect. And if something follows trivially from the definition of something then there isn't content. Neither reality nor morality can be altered by how one defines words.
