For your definition to make sense you need to do a few things. First
express it mathematically so it can be used to make quantitative
predictions. Secondly show it agrees with the current definition in all
cases where such agreement is possible. And thirdly show why your edition
is superior. You have not even done the first bit.

Unfortunately that seems likely.

Then detail those supposed holes.

Ok. Just make you objections specific - not some vague semantic waffle.
