How can a definition be wrong?Very easily. Gravitational force was defined as a constant for centuries, until Dirac's work in the 1960s and 1970s. Unfortunately for the sake of precision, many times the usage of the phrase ''by definition'' should be (and/or have been) replaced by the phrase ''by hypothesis''.
