> When I said it's not important to make the distinction I was referring solely to the terminology. I mean, it's important in the sense that it's generally useful to be able to differentiate two things that are, in fact, different from each other? When I order orange juice with my brunch, I don't want the waiter to come back with apple juice. When I ask my general practitioner to recommend a good oncologist, I don't want them to refer me to an ophthalmologist. Why would this be any different? Things mean things. To the extent that we blur the lines of our shared vocabulary, we make it harder to communicate with each other. Maybe you've never needed to distinguish between these two very different concepts, but lots of other people have.
