I'll argue about the use of a term when it is not defined (even by
example), when it's mere surplusage, or when it leads to an incorrect
or inconsistent conclusion. I think one is free to define one's terms
any way one wants as long as a one does not run afoul of these
proscriptions. There may be other situations, which, if not wrong, at
least should be avoided, e.g., leads to unnecessary confusion, an
acceptable term already exists, etc.
Now, back to the bickering.
