The word can have meaning in the context of a discussion in which all parties agree on its definition though. There's no reason that a word has to be defined across some percentage of the population before it can have meaning.

I haven't read the whole thread but I'm generally of the opinion that arguments over definitions are the only arguments that are really worth having. After that, it's a matter of letting the facts speak for themselves. If enough facts haven't been collected to speak for themselves when interpreted through the agreed upon set of definitions then it's time to find another set of definitions that are powerful enough to make sense of the facts or to put it on hold and search for more facts. Anything else is just idle speculation. There's nothing wrong with that but there's not really anywhere that it can go.
