What's the difference between inconsistent terminology and a subtle but crucial distinction? Is it how many fucks you give?

@DialMforMara It's also a question of whether the distinction matters to all parties in the discussion. Labels don't carry intrinsic meaning, but I believe that if one set of people use two words interchangeably, and another set use those words in specific situations, eventually the groups will either reconcile to a common understanding -- which may involve finding a third label to hierarchically refer to both cases -- or stop communicating over the distinction.
