That just promotes misconceptions and fallacies--it leads folks to accept argumentum ad populums as having some sort of weight for truth value.
No offense, but you're like that guy who seemingly pops up in every somewhat philosophical discussion and just keeps repeating 'define x' and feels all deep about it.
It's not that I disagree and at times we have to define or redefine what we're talking about, but mostly it's really unnecessary, tiresome and doesn't add anything to the discussion at hand.

Also: Define define.
