Ian says:

Sorry, Ian, no because it is a strict definition, applicable in all
circumstances - such as, for example, broadband ground searching radar.

As applied to amateur radio, then your simplification generally applies to
today's technology. It's very dangerous to modify a definition or a meaning
to fit one particular circumstance. A typical example is when the bit freak
talks of 'bandwidth' when he means 'data transfer capacity'.
