Dictionaries are for looking up linguistic social norms, not meaning.
To enforce any social norm/standards (even a linguistic/semantic one) is moral arbitration!
A dictionary is in no position to tell me what I mean when I use the words that I use.
That is why the meaning of “meaning” is circularly defined.
