I appear to be unable to edit the original comment, but I'd say that you're quite on point.
I was trying to say that how people think, how good they are at putting those thoughts into words and how they put it into words is different from person to person.
Quite often when I try to give an example of something I pick as obvious of an example as possible.
Example of how people have different definitions for the same words:
Word: evil.
Hitler probably wouldn't describe himself as evil, but a vast majority of people would use the word evil to describe Hitler.
That would mean that Hitler's definition of evil would have to exclude the things that he did.
When I gave that example in a different community the moderator deleted my message saying that supporting and glorifying Hitler is not allowed there.
While I do have faith that here on HN people would actually read what I wrote and understand that I did no such thing. Such misinterpretation of comments still happens even here, which ends in a negative outcome.
