Obviously natural language is never absolutely discrete. Let's say there's a spectrum between fairly discrete and fairly meaningless. I'm saying we should move toward the discrete side of things. If we need to invent a new word to describe something, we can, we don't need to repurpose an old word and in doing so rob it of its meaning.
