Einstein's paper on special relativity begins with one concept of time, and by the end of the paper refines it to a more accurate conception of time. I don't think this is any different.  Here we start with a conventional meaning of "physical universe", and by the end we show how the reasoning leads to a more refined concept of universe.

The difference is that we don't credence Einstein's theory because of some argument, we accept it because it made some surprising predictions which were empirically verified.
