The problem with defining something is that before you've defined it, people have already formed their ideas about it. So, when you define it, you do it on a scope that is incompatible with the previously formed ideas. It is like saying Baseball is a game where you try to hit the ball as its pitched to you. Then I come along and say, "No, it is a game where you try to score more runs than the other team." Its all baseball, but the way we appreciate it is different.
