My thoughts about the new definition center around wondering if changing it will have any practical result. At least one employer on this list has stated that the definition is irrelevant. To whom is it relevant? The only place I've ever seen the definition quoted (or referenced) is in discussions about the efforts of the STC to change said definition.
