Definitional clarity can be helpful if you think that people might otherwise be talking past each other (using the same word to mean something importantly different without realizing it). But otherwise, I generally agree with your take. (It’s a classic failure-mode of analytic philosophers that some pretend not to know what a word means until it has been precisely defined. It’s quite silly.)
