Unless I'm mistaken, I think your objection can be summarized as 'we shouldn't talk about things that we don't have airtight definitions for (like racial bias or racial prejudice), because it might confuse people'. No. I give a concrete example of what I want in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13161470 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13161470 Specifically, the word "bias" makes virtually everyone think of one particular concept. I claim expanding the word "bias" to describe two separate concepts misleads people into thinking the second concept is the same as the first. My sole objection is with confusing people by conflating multiple disparate concepts under one label, which is already a perfectly good label that clearly refers to something else (according to everything besides throwaway's mysterious and uncited "vernacular definition").
