When someone says “it’s just semantics”, they mean that the argument is only over the definition of words, not over that actual meaning.

That may be what they think they mean, but I can't recall an instance where that was accurate, including here.

Apart from that, I don't have to like people saying "it's just semantics" if they mean the exact opposite.
