How would I know when my definition is too broad?

[walkabout → judahmeek]

Exactly. Do exactly what you’re doing now, but to your own definitions of “chair”. You get it.

[judahmeek → walkabout]

Hold on. You're the one saying that a definition can be too broad & acting like that actually means something important.

So I'm asking how you define a definition as "too broad".

Because my perspective is that definitions that are in fact too broad are unimportant because no one uses them.

Useful definitions! Yes, easy.

Universal definitions? Extremely hard.

Do you know of a human culture in which a chair is defined as something else that an elevated seat with a back?
