As a practical matter its like debates between people who know what "begging the question" means vs people who use it incorrectly over and over until the definition changes.
Or like the old definition of "hacker" WRT computers.
The ship has sailed, begging the question now means leading someone to ask a question, hacker means two minutes hate against computer criminals, and hedonism means laughably pitiful time preference problem or what is the opposite of a wise plan for the future.
