The Arctic is defined by the Arctic Circle.
That's correct
Indeed it appears both of us are wrong.
No, you are not wrong. maggot is attempting to claim that the end of a stick is ' the stick ' and the other end is not.
There is no single definition. Mine is the standard definition and certainly the primary one. But there are others.

Yes, different disciplines e.g. botanical, ecological, geographical- even sociological, use their own definitions pertaining to their own requirements. However, as the Laps confirm- along with any other authority seemingly beyond the comprehension of the wriggling Brit maggot- the most
stable, and therefore the widely accepted definition of 'the Arctic ' is all that is contained within the Arctic Circle.
maggot's claim that ' the Arctic ' and ' the Arctic circle ' are not the same thing is a nonsense. Even his claim of 'the Arctic ' being temperature-dependent ' ( yes, he actually claimed that , haw, haw..............haw ) while being ' technically correct ' as you say , is only ' technically correct ' for those specializing in Arctic temperatures- and maggot certainly does not meet that requirement. That particular definition also falls within the specialty definitions described above.
In summary, the Brit maggot has made a fool of himself and Into the Night an even greater fool. Two fools , both attempting to argue the inarguable.
1) The Arctic is defined as the Arctic Circle, the stable definition as others are subject to change. The Brit maggot has his head up his ass.
2) Sweden is in the Arctic, not all of it, but a very substantial part of it. Into the Night Soil also has his head up his ass.

As the climate warms, the Arctic shrinks if defined by temperature, forest line, permafrost, or ice cover. Cultural and political boundaries also vary.
The Arctic Circle is the most permanent of the delimitations,
