You’re mixing up definition and policy.
If airlines banned knives and someone posted a definition of “knife” that suggested they are only used for eating food, it would be perfectly reasonable for a reply to point out that there are dangerous uses which might have led to the bad, and that it’s disingenuous to suggest that the ban was obviously motivated by a desire to make eating difficult.
It’s still fair to debate the balance of use and the merits of the ban, but IMO it is not reasonable to be upset over a more complete definition and context.
