Well, I think we've beaten this to death but just two more things . . .

I see where you get your understanding.




No, as I stated, I got my "understanding" from my first (jazz guitar) instructor, who knows 1,000 things more about music than I ever will, not from the Internet.

There was no Wikipedia back then.

However, here happens to be one more:

http://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/

And, if the intent was to define it as any note of a chord in any order, the definitions would just say "notes played individually" as opposed to saying "consecutively."

Different words mean different things.

I'm not a lawyer, but ... I rest my case.
