Most people have a different primary definition of the word "hacker" than the author, in other words.

Most people know exactly what the word "hacker" means within their respective social circles.

It seems almost bizarrely religious to me for someone to say something to the effect of, "the way most people use a word is not the same as my own way or its origin, therefore most people ought to change."
