No, it just makes sense that if something isn't defined in the game, you should go to the real-world definition of that thing. The game doesn't define "boots," "bones," "metal," or even "water," but you know what those things are. Otherwise the Core Rulebook becomes a dictionary as well as a collection of game rules, and expands to 1,000 pages....

Right you are!

Given some of the debates on the forums, those terms probably should have in-game definitions.

OK, let me take a shot at the OP's question. Here it is:

A flammable material is any substance that would, in the reasoned opinion of a sane human of average-or-better intellect, have a good chance of catching fire if open flame were held against it for six seconds. In cases of doubt, while you may opt to find a sample of the substance and conduct an experiment to confirm or deny your hypothesis, do not conduct this experiment indoors.

Hopefully this resolves your dispute.
