In addition to this (and I apologize if it feels like I'm piling on,) would it even matter if the claim of a different historical meaning was true? If the argument is "Oh, well there is this other definition that is now obsolete." If the word is accepted to mean one thing, then that is how everyone will use it. Unless the poster is as vampiric as Malack, there is no viable reason for the outdated usage to be used. :)
