Unless I've forgotten more than I hope, I believe the formal definition of a 95% confidence interval is that "if the model is true, 95% of the experiments would result in a point estimate within the interval." This is distinctly different from "a 95% probability that the true value is contained within the confidence interval", but that is typically what is loosely inferred.
