I want to know the answer to the following question:
What is the definition of mutual intelligibility?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The most common, and most purely linguistic, criterion is that of mutual intelligibility: two varieties are said to be dialects of the same language if being a speaker of one variety confers sufficient knowledge to understand and be understood by a speaker of the other; otherwise, they are said to be different languages.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
