Well the text in the image of the "definition" of a square is clearly tailored to fit this joke, thats why the logic of what a square actually is doesn't apply. Its like telling Diogenes that his chicken is not technically a human because it doesn't have two hands and a nose.

Diogenes plucked that chicken to point out Platon's definition of a human (being a bipedal, featherless animal) being flawed. This meme leaves out parts of the definition to enforce a joke. Two different situations.

Its similar enough, the definition is limited and therefore enables a joke to be made.

It's not similar, it's the exact opposite.

It still demonstrated what I was trying to say, that if you go too literal on these two jokes then you're missing the point
