Don't know if this'll help clear the air here, but ...

The purpose of definition is effective differentiation. It's that which finally severs a concept from all others previously formed. It's that which allows for complete conceptual discernment (categorical certainty).

     After reading your responses, I can't help but see your 'Devil's Advocate' arguments as being really more of a disguise of your preference to be an 'Agent Provocoteur'. --- "Fascism" indeed; and "definitions are merely a precise of theory" (like, theories don't require definitions of their concepts...to be rationally meaningful.)
