It certainly does not. RPGs are just one meaning, and what is or is not an RPG is sometimes hotly debated. You have roleplay in contexts of TTRPGs, CRPG, MMO RPGs, as well as in clinical and *ahem* other contexts.Of course. The term roleplay has a precise meaning.
By giving it a precise meaning of your own choosing, you assume a conclusion about that debate. It's bad form. It proves nothing.
What you could do, is draw distinctions among different sorts and styles of RP. It's still going to be controversial, acrimonious, and accomplish nothing - just look at the Forge and GNS - but at least it won't be fallacious right out the gate.
