Interesting. I actually see that as the most fundamental definitions that we need to specifically understand in order to be able to get a grasp on the whole theory and then to apply it correctly and expand its understanding and then, perhaps, to extrapolate on the theory itself for our own amusement and curiosity. Without these clearly defined and agreed upon principles, we are just wading in muddy waters and we can't even speak a common language. At least that's the way I see it.
