> You were both right, and it all depends on your definition of productivity

Sure, but at some point, you can pick a definition that is so far removed from what was intended, that this exercise is utterly meaningless.

You could say that anytime there's any lack of clarity about what is meant by any given term,

With "productivity", you could reasonably mean any number of things.

It's not like someone said "pizza" and I said "that depends on what you mean by pizza". You could say that (is a calzone a pizza?), but it wouldn't be reasonable to do so.

In the case of productivity, I think it's reasonable to clarify what is meant.

P.S. Was your use of "utterly meaningless" an intentional pun?
