Oh okay so they're just redefining words that are already well-defined so they can make fancy claims.
Well-defined for casual use is very different than well-defined for scholarly research. It's standard practice to take colloquial vocab and more narrowly define it for use within a scientific discipline. Sometimes different disciplines will narrowly define the same word two different ways, which makes interdisciplinary communication pretty funny.
