Why? Why bother putting so much effort into arguing about the details of the definition when it could be kept simple and vague? I don't see what it would accomplish other than to allow some furs' to make a vain appeal to authority when trying to assert their preferences as more legitimate than other furs' preferences. The only change for people actually interested in the subject as opposed to fitting some definition would be going from saying "I like this subset of furry" to "I like this other subset of furry, plus some other very similar things with nearly all the same themes, but so-and-so said it is not furry."
