How could you use that verbiage against him? Think about it... He gave you the most simple, clear, unambiguous answer anyone could give....
You, on the other hand, and by asking him what the definition of "stop" means, it is reasonable to assume that you did not know what "stop" means and therefore, if you did not know how it is defined or how a stop is made...
It still ends up being your word against his and you will lose.
