    Because if you use words that only have objective definitions then you can arbitrarily move your definition around if people come up with counter-examples.

    It’s a way of creating an argument that means nothing and also can’t be argued against on Internet forums where there are no rules (unlike, say a debate stage or court room where you have to rationally prove your points).
