The fact that there could be semantic debate over what's "security" and what's not, however, does not mean it's OK to just assume that everything is "security".

The issue is not semantic but practical. Crooks don't play by Marquis of Queensbury rules. You may not consider Microsoft Word to be a part of your operating system's "security", but if someone can use a Word macro virus to erase all the files that you have permission to erase, then you have a security problem related to Microsoft Word.
