Are Definitions flawed?

Asked by Myndecho (948points) March 23rd, 2009

Definitions are flawed.
Someone asked me before “When does a zygote become a babe?” The truth is definitions do not exist and we attribute definitions to the world, rather than definition being out there and us finding them. When does an asteroid orbiting a sun become a planet? We have to attribute values for these meanings.
