If people are trying to claim words mean something that they don't how else do you expect people to respond in order to refute the misguided notion?

I think in some cases it makes perfect sense. Sometimes people purposely misunderstand a word no matter how much it's explained otherwise

I'm a bit iffy about dictionary definitions. They seem hollow and without substance/context.

why OP?

When people start a TAAT.....
