Larry,

One could argue, and I probably would, that even though the definition is
less precise, the understanding, at least of the lay person, is more
thorough.  Since this page is directed at the lay person, I feel that the
lay language is appropriate.  I am quite certain that a more precise version
of the page is available if requested.
