This I think is a good example of why definition is important at the social level where you, I and others engage in the market place of ideas. I did not have law in mind when I wrote the original sentence, but of course law is very much involved in the value of definition. What is lacking in our exchange as it has been with others on this site is an agreed upon definition of the levels. I submit this is yet another example of the value of defining one's terms. What's involved is a moral issue since it is better to have a common understanding of a word or phrase than to be misunderstood.
