"I could just as well claim that lungfish are not really fish."
Are eels fish?
What about mudskippers?
Guppies?
Coelacanth?
If you can declare lungfish not fish because they don't confirm to one part of your definition, then where do you draw the line?
"Words have meanings AND your particular meaning does not rewrite any dictionaries."
Older dictionaries defined whales as fish. Words have meanings, but those meanings change with new discoveries.

Thanks for the introduction.
Now you're going to be blocked before we get into "What is a woman" and "How many genders are there really".
