Your post seems to recognize that the definition of the word "nature" has changed over the years, as words often do.

Why do you think it is "tilting at windmills" for me to want the definition to change to something that pleases me?

I think we can agree that we don't know the facts about what"the person in question" (mike) chose to do that led to the terms of his parole being violated.

Maybe he was stopped and questioned by police, and couldn't get transportation back to the parole house in time. Maybe he was doing a drug deal our saving a burning bus full of children.

Parole officers aren't required to make exceptions for these things.

He can choose to try, or choose to do his best, but he can't choose to amide by the terms any more than you can choose to catch the bus.

Please reveal your source for this belief.

>>every other product on the planet - do those mean nothing?

Breakthroughs are expensive and do not conform to our short term business cycles, as they rarely result in products, as opposed to breakthroughs. Trivial and immaterial incrementalism perfectly conform to our business cycle.
