Isn't multiple competing definitions the opposite of well-defined? How overlapping are those definitions?
- User23 5y agoA glance at any dictionary will show a plethora of words that have multiple incompatible definitions. Some, like cleave, are even their own antonym. Nevertheless each sense of the word is well defined. The issue isn’t a lack of well-definedness, but rather one of confusion.
