When there are, as in the case of OO, multiple formal definitions, it is because there is no consistent "common definition" to compare any given example against, and relying on anybody's "common definition" means there is no basis for discussion.

Failing to match any of the formal definitions, as here, is a sure way to fail to reach a level where discussion is worthwhile. So, it is not, and I leave it here.
