Dunno what yours is.

Mine is "an unintentional low-impedance connection between an ungrounded
circuit conductor and something that is grounded".

OK, then you're being consistent with your definition, such as it is.

It's certainly a more useful definition than one which equates
parallel-connected wires with a short circuit. You certainly have some unusual
ideas; apparently, the physics on your planet is as bizarre as the toxicology.
