i do not recall attempting to redefine the term only to utilize the correct one .



The dictionary, with example, did not convince you that the "code specimen" is not a replacement for "code snippet". A Large Language Model in trained in English did not convince you.

Do you have a link to any publication in English that uses the word specimen as you assert is "correct"?

In other words, can you find anyone who agrees with you that your definition is correct?

Just one link, preferably an authoritative source like a real publication.

If you cannot find anyone who uses the word "specimen" in the specific context that you want to use it it, why remain certain that English is wrong and you are right?
