Good point - I don't like it, but we do that with other definitions
it is kosher to regard one or more of Newtons "laws" as definitions).
More importantly, if R= V/I is a statement that the resistance is
independent of voltage, where is the definition of resistance (R)?
How about R = rho(T)L/A?
where rho is the temperature dependent resistivity of a material.
