I phrased my comment in hopes of avoiding an argument about definitions. It seems like a tedious quibble.

Check out the three dictators I linked. That’s interesting!

The way you phrased it reads very much like you started an argument about definitions.

I think requiring the title of dictator is not how the term is being used these days, on our side of the late Roman republic. It's more of a duck-typing situation now.

I think it's safe to assume the original comment meant it that way.
