You're just trying to confuse people by appealing to authority and making this about semantics. If we're playing that game, I can just as easily point to Wikipedia's definition:
Quote
Scalability is the property of a system to handle a growing amount of work by adding resources to the system
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability
But this isn't about proving which definition is correct. That doesn't matter. The issue is the distinction between throughput and the system's ability to handle throughput -- and how we can improve the latter. I'm not interested in adding throughput without regard for the costs.
