OK, but it doesn't help to answer a question posed by a layman using overloaded terms of art without defining them, or at least providing references, or at least pointing out that the words you are using do not mean what they mean in common usage.

So where do I find these definitions? Because I am still highly skeptical that they can be defined in ways that do not conceal hidden judgement calls.

If we applied that same standard when talking about programming here, we would never get past talking eli5 semantics and definitions.

You can be skeptical, but the cure for that skepticism is something more akin to taking an undergrad course, or two.
