Evolution = variation + selection is so broad as to apply to every reproduction or replication.

It does.

It doesn't inform at all about evolution just redefines the word evolution to be equivalent to life.

Life evolves, but that doesn't make evolution life. Stay stupid.

You are the one who said that not me.

In every replicative event prior to meiosis or mitosis for non-sexually reproducing organisms there are or can be variations. In sexually reproducing organisms there is variation in every fertilization when one set of chromosomes comes from sperm and one from oocyte. There is then a selection event upon that organisms subsequent reproduction. Variation and selection describes life.
