This is a typical statement based on 'group-think' of people who 
believe, that science is theirs.

People may eventually be smarter than the rest and the groups they build 
could collect a lot of scientific knowledge.

But to have knowledge does not make this knowledge a property, since 
science is about nature and you cannot own nature.

So you have also no authority to decide, what is the proper use of a 
term or in which circumstances its use is allowed.

Here we had the question of 'RoS' or 'relativity of simultaneity'.

I use a different definition, since I base my understanding of 
relativity on other foundations than you do.

I use ideas of Herman Minkowski and regard SRT as wrong.  Since you do 
the exact opposite, we have some kind of 'linguistic problems' and 
disagree about certain fundamental assumptions.

This would not worry me too much, since I do not belong to your 
'in-group' neither and therefore regard as irrelevant, what is the 
proper use of the term 'simultaneity' in your particular circles.
