Well I was assuming that by commonly held definition you were alluding to the definition as a "Given".

If that isn't the case, like you are saying it isn't now, than realize that simply because things are commonly accepted, doesn't make them right. America commonly accepted slavery, thinking it was justified and that Africans weren't of equals with Caucasians. One reason intellectuals or scholars debate is to prove points which an average or commonly believed misnomer is actually false.

I am also going to ask you to refrain from any negative connotation to any other user while debating. This isn't the first time I have seen you speak poorly of others, especially when you disagree with them.
