I like your loose definition . And thinking back to the OP's question...
1. It could be that the senior is assigning work because s/he is so fantastically amazing that s/he doesn't have time for these easy things that s/he is assigning.
or
2. Senior is assigning work because s/he is so NOT fantastically amazing that s/he has no clue about how to get the work done properly.
I'm assuming the OP was alluding to the fact that it was the second condition.

Bloody hell YOU have a cubicle!

Yes, we have cubes. The Agile experiment didn't work out in our org culture; so the cubes were brought back. Actually, I have a small office, but the "senior developers" that I have worked with tend to have 6 months of food and drink in their cubicles just to let everyone know they aren't planning on retiring anytime soon.

LOL!! I detest Agile and started refusing Agile dev shops, saying "I'm not a team player" (apparently this is worse than not knowing how to code ... )
And even though the company who contracts me gives us lunch, I still have loads of snacks lying around. I'm not a senior developer, though, I'm more of a senior moment developer

So a senior developer has a posh cubicle and keys for the executive loo.
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

A senior developer is one who, when he needs to search the web, automatically starts to type altavista.com

I started with that search engine!

It's a fair bet that a lot of us did.

Watched?
The kiddies watched.
We'd read the comics.
We sneered at the kiddies who watched.

Pretty sure that was his point.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Me too. Sorry, shouldn't that be "AOL"

Altavista was awesome. Do you remember how it returned ftp results? I guess now that that's considered the "dark net."

But they couldn't get it down to 32x32, so they were doomed.

Search the web? We know how to read a manual. Heck in most cases we wrote the bally thing!

A ploy by HR. When there's a senior there are also mediors and juniors, people you can pay less.
Ultimately, it's just a stupid label people get when they're old, have worked in the industry for a while or have worked for the company for a while.
You'd expect them to have deep knowledge of software and/or hardware engineering, but judging from the "seniors" I know it isn't really a prerequisite
