Webster's is useless when one is using terms of art. Webster's documents the normal, non-technical meanings of words. In ontology, "to create" and "to procreate" are quite distinct concepts. No knowledgeable person pulls out the Webster's in a philosophical discussion, or a discussion of a legal term, etc.

Hint: humility is appealing.
