The problem is also that so much discourse these days is driven by buzzwords, with little thought given to what they actually mean in context. For example, the knee-jerk Republican reaction to the word "regulation" is negative. Pair that with the mention of a government agency, and you have an instant outpouring of ignorant passion.

This little technique has routinely been used to skew polling and survey results everywhere.
