Languages do not grow by grafting inartful definitions onto words that are used clearly in the contexts in which they developed. This is known as "decadence."

No true student of language would resort to a dictionary as authority for word use in any event. A dictionary merely reflects socially accepted currency. It underpins nothing. In any event, the use you and Chiteng put "minimalist" (pretty much a bullsh1t word, anyway) to finds no support in social currency or traditional accepted usage.

The point stands. Move on with your constant insults and ridiculous arguments.
