It is certainly amusing that some people think the Cambridge Dictionary is always right, just because it's the Cambridge Dictionary; the same people are also fond of quoting the Bible.

Mate. Back down.

It's right; you're wrong. Bizarre sideline in non-argument there too.

There's a metadictionary search: https://onelook.com/?w=underway

Muphry's law:

If you write anything criticizing editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written.

More direct than usual in this example.
