I don't care how this particular argument comes out, but that is not unusual in the law. Just because the ADA has that definition doesn't mean that it is the only possible definition. And the ADA doesn't even apply to airlines, as I understand it. There are MANY statutes which conflict with each other in terms of definitions.
