That's one way to run away. If you wish to argue credibly you do need to be
clear in what you say, so you need to be clear about the meaning of the
words you use. This involves definitions that dictionaries are good at
providing.

If you run away at the first hint of precision and claim it to be a
'dictionary game' then don't expect to learn very much.
