Feels like you're starting to argue in bad faith with the only purpose of rejecting the concept of "meta" as it's being presented. If you'd like, you can think of "meta" as short for "meta-strategy", with the distinction between "meta-strategy" and "strategy" as similar to the distinction to "meta-physics" and "physics". People who claim that "meta-physics" is just "physics" would probably be regarded as "pedants".
