To anyone scientifically literate it's clear. It's clear because an operational definition is dependent upon the methodology of the study. The operational definition employed in Lalit Kumar, Radha Krishna and Rayan Alsuwaigh, 2015. Understanding the Fluid Nature of Personhood - The Ring Theory of Personhood, is operationally different from that of Emile Tsékénis, 2017. Personhood, Collectives, and the Human-Animal Distinction: The Cases of the Cameroon Grassfields and Madagascar, which, in turn, is different from that of Masha Komolova, Monisha Pasupathi, Cecilia Wainryb, Sarah Lucas, 2016. Children's and adolescents' conceptions of personhood A narrative approach, etc., etc. Common to them all are precisely the attributes Singer cited that I quoted.
