Russell, I am prone to side with Humpty Dumpty when it comes to words that do not yet have a narrow agreed-upon definition.
"When *I* use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." -- Lewis Carroll, *Through the Looking Glass*, 1872. We are defining "solar geoengineering" in the context of our study. Other definitions may be appropriate in other contexts.
