That depends on your definitions of the term.  I must insist that you
go first, as my usual experience on this topic is that any explanation
I give is immediately strawmanned into someone else's definitions, who
then claims they are "right" when they have actually given
non-sequiturs.

I am not accusing you specifically of doing so.  Indeed, I hope that
you will do better.  I'm just finding it hard to care enough to give a
good answer on my own given how often it's happened, and if you will
engage honestly then you deserve the same from me.

It might.
