Dictionaries use what the current accepted meanings are. I think this
is incorrect. IMAO, what you've described is non-social, not
anti-social. Anti-social to me involves specifically attempting to
damage society (as my example, which wasn't intended to be offensive).
But c'est la vie...if society wants to use the term loosely that's their
business.
