Re: why use ANY wrong definition?
When was the theory of common descent extending back to a primal common ancestor population validated?
Back before I graduated from high school, I'd imagine. As soon as it became clear that one DNA code determines 99.8% of the proteins present in all life on Earth, and that the other 0.2% is determined by slight alterations of that same code.
And that 0.2% is probably way on the high side.

Re: What about another definition?
Speculation: is Barbara wildly misremembering or misrepresenting a factoid (a true one) that roughly 90% of the cells in human bodies are bacteria - mostly in our gut - and 10% are eukaryote cells?
