If you are seeking discussion, you can try to set the terms.

The terms are already well defined within the field of science. It is you who disputes not only the definition of the terms, but the intent of those who use the terms, despite the fact that they have already agreed upon the definitions.

But the success of that may depend on how wary your victims are.

I do not see any attempt at victimization.

I'm disputing your right to set them without negotiation.

Passive voice--usually indicates that the writer expects the hearer to sign on to an unnegotiated assumption.

Good.
