Even though I no longer identify with the left, and have never identified with the right, I don’t like being called centrist, as it validates the outdated left-right continuum that I want to escape. In the spirit of today, I’d rather be known as “political spectrum non-binary.”
We're talking about the meaning of words here, so of course how the majority defines them is relevant. Since you define words differently to how others, including experts, define them, it's probably not worth arguing with you further.

Even though you have repeatedly insisted I am defining them differently from experts, I am not. Perhaps some minority of experts. But if you read the full breadth of literature, you will find my definitions are rather standard.

You can literally find this binary going all the way back to the invention of "left" and "right" in revolutionary France. The left and right chambers were the chamber of the commoners and the chamber of the nobles. This notion stayed pretty constant over the years.
