And now it's "it's the paper's fault it's wrong because it defined a term the way I didn't want it defined."

Yes.

Science is built on a shared, standardized base of knowledge. Laying claim to a standard term to mean something entirely incompatible with the actual definition makes your paper objectively incorrect and without merit.
