There is no "it". Everybody has their own "it", and even that may be inconsistent. I am not opposed to ponds and lakes - I just don't see a common definition coming up without "generally" (but not always), "typically"(but may be different), "usually"(except where it's not), "in most countries" (but not everywhere) etc etc.
I don't think most bodies of water can be tagged as pond or lake by any common standard, in a way that all agree. Nor do I think that is a problem.
