Just saying - consistency wise. If you are going to do that then you should be counting some of River West as part of downtown, which is part of West Town. The Grand and Chicago Blue Line stops there for example are very close to parts that anyone would count as downtown and the core. I do agree that core wise maybe you shouldn't count over where the United Center is but not counting some of the areas above in West Town doesn't make much sense.
What you also mention as The Loop + southern part of NNS is a pretty old definition as well. The core definitely now in some parts goes south of Roosevelt and also it's now pretty seamless for about 2/3 of the NNS going north through around Division St.
