In a formal debate, defining terms is the first step, to avoid talking past each other. Sloppy definitions often lead to sloppy thinking, and sometimes in dishonest debating and in propaganda, that's the intent.

In this case, blaming "bushco" for massive 9/11 hoaxing and subsequent massive cover-up appears to imply a "bushco" massively larger and more powerful than what one might take as the common definition. Asking for a definition might lead to illustrating that implausibility.
