>No, debating the definition is philosophy

Wrong. Philosophy is the basis of science. It is the love of wisdom. The study of reification, problems concerning existence. The process used could be debating yes, but that is only because there is no authority on such matters. It relies on observations and discourse. Science is a BRANCH of philosophy that deals with systematic and methodical approaches to observation. It does so using math and experimentation, but in the end it is still dealing with observations.

>Assuming a definition so you can get on with something else is a perfectly valid thing to do when you need to move the fuck on and not waste time on philosophy.

Science would be out of a job if it wasn't for philosophy.
