I agree with this. Folks get too caught up in the treees (pun intended) around here and often totally disregard the forest. We must try to use definitions provided and it's why I usually they to cite them when questioned. The issue is many will go off half-cocked on your use of a certain word instead of seeking clarification and by following Rule #1 of PnR Forum they will double-down rather than admit to their Premature Exclamation.

As to the OP: Given Webster's definition: "favoring extreme changes in existing views, habits, conditions, or institutions" I suppose it would depend on your view of the current state.
