Er, hardly. Simply pointing out that it is an issue of context.
If you ask an airfield for its QNE you will be given an elevation. To fly relative to that elevation you will set your altimeter for QNE.
To say there are two definitions of the same term is just pedantry. To say these two definitions are conflicting is just plain wrong.
