There is a common usage for these terms, they are not arbitrarily.
Describing websites purely on a “static vs dynamic” or “online vs offline” is arbitrary.
That is simply assigning subjective values to the way you interpret a website as behaving and then categorising all websites by that subjective set of metrics.
That’s what arbitrary means.
How do I measure how “dynamic” a website is? Gut feel? It’s a meaningless metric.
How “offline” is my website? Is it a bit offline? Certainty I know when it’s entirely off line… but on a scale of 0-10, how “offline” is a website that runs off an api vs one that fetches static json data files?
Wouldn’t you say that categorising websites by these metrics is totally arbitrary?
I certainly think it is.
This is some classic armchair theorising (look it up); first you invent some labels, then you put everything under those labels in a way that is convenient (rather than data driven) then you talk about it to support some ideas you have.
