I’m simply saying definitions are not arbitrary and too many people make that claim. Truth matters and if we allow the definitions of very specific things become murky or arbitrary, we lose the things they reference, explicitly, as a result. If you destroy the definition of the word “freedom” or allow it to mean something it doesn’t, or that isn’t sustainable or is intellectually contradictory, then we lose freedom in the real sense. We can’t have it both ways. We either define it clearly and hold to that, or we lose all concept and ability to defend it in the minds of those it depends on.

Long way of saying, definitions matter as much as the thing itself, because they are interdependent.
