lol. I hate to break it to you but there is no such thing as a perfect, immutable source for definitions. Words mean whatever they are popularly perceived to mean. The whole point of my last post was that the "post a definition" game is a meaningless faux-argument. That you responded with a long diatribe full of more dictionary quoting and an attempted Wikipedia refutation only serves to highlight the fact that you (a) completely misunderstood the point of my last post and (b) have a poor grasp of how language actually works. Hint: dictionaries are a guide, not a carved-in-stone final authority.
