Exactly. Do exactly what you’re doing now, but to your own definitions of “chair”. You get it.

Hold on. You're the one saying that a definition can be too broad & acting like that actually means something important.

Useful definitions! Yes, easy.

Universal definitions? Extremely hard.

Do you know of a human culture in which a chair is defined as something else that an elevated seat with a back?
