Not that that's a good idea (making the case study the definition).
very good point.
Goliath was a big guy, a bad guy, and died at the hands of a little guy.

Technically, Goliath was killed by a stone, hurled at great velocity and accuracy by a little guy (David) who happened to be a damned fine shot with a sling. Therefore, big guys are easily killed by high-velocity projectiles.
So, there's your researched (but rather sterile) definition of monopoly,
