To be fair to the old gent, I'd imagine a judge needs to know a little bit more about the term than just that it's what you find in a web browser.
The legal definition would include issues about its originality, uniqueness, authorship, authenticity and so on. Without a detailed grasp of how and where a website exists, and how, where and by whom it can be created, edited, accessed, or removed, the judge wouldn't be able to reach legal conclusions.
If a website exists that says I teach people to make bombs, for example, is that the truth, an allegation, a confession, or a dirty lie? Legally speaking, that depends on the exact definition of "web site".
