Feedback: love fantasy do not see the problem. The only thing you need to remember is that communication usually fails except by accident. I have seen many definition change meaning during my life it is just part of life. If you are content that you have the same definition you usually do not.
No one could find a reference to contest it with, because nobody was writing articles defining terms that everyone understood; and the original editor's reference was not available online at the time, so no one could look at it and say "Uh, this is just some rando saying it would be cool if we called secondary-world stories 'high fantasy'."
Now the original, bogus reference is gone from the article, replaced with 20 low-effort articles that are obviously sourced from the same Wikipedia page they're being used to support. Boom, citogenesis! https://xkcd.com/978/
