Sorry dude, language doesn't work that way. Just because Lieberman invented the term, doesn't mean he's right. Definitions of words are decided by use, not authorship.

The language doesn't need clarifying, because the term has a definition, which is perfectly clear. Through a quirk of history, this perfectly clear definition happens to be different than the other perfectly clear definition which preceded it. Due to this retcon, Leiberman's original definition ends up being incorrect. Wasn't the first time something like this happens, and it won't be the last. So it goes.
