Appellants have the better position. During examination of a patent application, pending claims are given their broadest reasonable construction consistent with the Specification. In re Am. Acad. of Sci. Tech Ctr., 367 F.3d 1359, 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2004). 

The correct inquiry “is an interpretation that corresponds with what and how the inventor describes his invention in the specification.” In re Smith International, Inc., 871 F.3d 1375, 1382—83 (Fed. Cir. 2017)

The correct inquiry in giving a claim term its broadest reasonable interpretation in light of the specification is not whether the specification proscribes or precludes some broad reading of the claim term adopted by the examiner. And it is not simply an interpretation that is not inconsistent with the specification. It is an interpretation that corresponds with what and how the inventor describes his invention in the specification.
