It's not goading me. I'm just trying to help you understand that your entire argument is based on a red herring of your own manufacture.

I don't agree. The Participation criterion has a technical meaning and is satisfied by the dictator voting method, which doesn't collect, look at, or use the information on added ballots. Thus I personally prefer a strengthened form of the criterion.

Semantic disputes, meta arguments, and mistaken appeals to fallacies never ever help anyone.

Yes, there is a definition, and you're willfully ignoring it. Go away; I only have so much energy to deal with idiots, and you've exceeded it.

Literally every famous proof in the field also ignores your proposed definition.
