I feel like this is a semantics issue but im not sure. Would it be correct to say.. the maximum amount you can make is the full value (or in other words, 100 percent of) the shares you are shorting?

 You are totally right here. This is a semantics issue. But if we moved the debate into semantics immediately it would distract us from the more important debate of the mechanics of shorting.
