Maybe you want to, but terminology will have to be negotiated unless you have some means of enforcing your will.

Are you suggesting that the validity of the theory of evolution can be altered by deciding that scientists who use specific words, such as "theory", really used a different definition of the word than the one they intended?

Nope. I'm saying you don't set the terms around here.

One can post a list as many times as one can peck a keyboard, but important terms in a discussion should be decided (negotiated) between participants, not handed down by a dictator. These terms are abstractions, full of meaning. I'm encouraging those reading to not sign on your dotted line before they have a chance to think about it.
