You can’t just shut down a semantic argument by taking a position, asserting its correctness, and refusing to acknowledge other views, as a premise of your broader argument.
The normal way out of a semantic argument is to just acknowledge the different definitions people are bringing and moving on with that in mind, but you’re not willing to do that. You are the one instigating the semantic argument here.
