   You are free to do a Humpty Dumpty and use existing words to mean whever   
   you like, but if you wish to communicate - or base your calculations on   
   something defined in the usual manner - then you probably shouldn't.   
      
   This is a highly unorthodox usage of "percent solution".

   Feel free. I hear it is bliss.
