I'm slight nebulous about this.
It's the dictionary's job to have the definition as it's used by society, not to create definitions itself.
A big part of the article is going into proving in quite a bit of detail how society has and continues to use "nude" to mean exactly as such; isn't it therefore the job of the dictionary to include that? Note that it's offensive, obviously, but do note it?
