generalization, but it's just a little pet peeve of mine
"1. A point at which lines or pathways intersect or branch; a central or connecting point.
2. A piece of equipment, such as a PC or peripheral, attached to a network."
i can't find the definition that states a node is a packet of information

The script above vaguely fits the definition you post. It's a point of data in a large connected set... though it's not a tree so it doesn't fit it perfectly. It fits it better than your labeling it as simply a "packet of information."
I'll also go ahead and say I saw your post before you edited in which you posted "What's a node?" Given that you posted the definition from a dictionary and now accusing people of using the term wrongly I'll go ahead and say you're not really in the position to argue it.
