My understanding of the No True Scotsman fallacy involves changing a definition during an argument in order to hold on to some assertion.

This is not the same thing as a person feeling that a particular word should have a particular meaning.

The problem is the person seen as "changing a definition" could very well have had the second definition in his mind all along.
