A lot of judgement on a semantic that is generally accepted to be the exact opposite of what you are declaring. First given the context of the root of the word "cide", patricide, regicide, matricide, a majority of people still believe that the word predicates physical/biological harm in the form of death. If you want to expand the definition, fine but it isn't truth or the majority. If anything you should find a better word.
