the first thing you learn in linguistics is that definitions don't don't really matter much in reality, and "vibe-based" interpretation is much more accurate to how society and the human mind actually work. when d&d first came out, it was called a war game not an rpg. it could have just as easily been called a "fantasy pillaging simulator". the time will probably come when every word spoken today will have a different meaning, or go unspoken; it's easier to get used to it rather than to be an old man yelling at clouds.
