I think my point in posting this has kinda got lost. It's not about the scientific classification being abandoned because of "common use" as found in dictionaries, that's not the point. The point was that you, because of your own specialist knowledge, may in some circumstances think that you're insured against something, only to discover later that the "common definition" has it that you're not.
I guess I should have posted a comment at the time I submitted this, it's probably too late now to make the real point.
However, if you have insurance that matters to you, perhaps it's a good time to go and check every single term in it to make sure the "common sense meaning" matches your understanding.
Edit: Actually, the irony just struck me about being misunderstood in the submission, just as legal terms are misunderstood by "ordinary people" when tested in court. Oh well.
Edit 2: Guessing it won't matter now, as this has fallen off the front page, not doubt having been flagged based on the misunderstanding of its purpose. Again ... oh well.
