I think it needs the strict definition because it is getting so mainstream.
Without a strict, unique definition, people will just use it as a generic synonym, and then you literally lose a word out of the vocabulary (like what happened with epic).
And then if you use its stricter definition it might be confusing to people who only know it as a synonym of "being annoying" or something and you have to spend time explaining the difference, etc.
Hmmm. Thinking about it like this, you're right. "Epic" literally has lost its meaning from all the over-use and I would hate to see "trolling" go the same way, even if I've never really liked either term all that much.
