dude, you keep linking the same incorrect definition over and over again. whats more, its literally the only source i can find that calls amorphous solids liquids on the entire internet. every single other website correctly calls them solids and you chose to run with the single incorrect one.

"like a liquid" does not equal a liquid. its a solid. not a "solid liquid", which isnt a thing, and its not a liquid.
all liquids flow. every single one of them. it is an intrinsic property of liquid. its literally impossible for a liquid not to flow because flowing is a requirement of being a liquid. if something does not flow, then it can not be called a liquid. the fact that amorphous solids do not flow is exactly what makes them not a liquid, because again, all liquids flow.
