Definitions are a matter of community choice, not personal choice; i.e.
a matter of convention. If you come across a short squat animal with
split hooves rooting through the mud and choose to define it as a
"giraffe," you will find yourself ignored and cut off from the larger
community which chooses to define it as a "pig."
