This debate boils down purely to word usage and prescriptivism vs descriptivism; which order/family of seabirds does the term “penguin” refer to? Who cares! This is entirely Argumentum ad Dictionarium!
I didn’t consider it a debate in the first place, but yes, I’m aware of how the words have changed in their application. That seemed to be a central theme of the entire post 🤷
