3 : a rigid motion of a geometric figure that determines a one-to-one mapping onto itself
4 : the property of remaining invariant under certain changes (as of orientation in space, of the sign of the electric charge, of parity, or of the direction of time flow) —used of physical phenomena and of equations describing them
What I got from those definitions is that symmetry can be loosely defined as long as there is balance. Balance is very subjective thus it's being used loosely.

right but if we just wanted the theme to Balanced don't you think we should have just named it "Balance" instead of going a step further and making it "Symmetry"? Because we went the extra step to make it that, I figure we should go by the stricter definition.
