But English is not fixed, at the domain-specific level. Domain-specific words are created, used, and forgotten all the time. This is to the benefit of communication/problem-solving and detriment to outsiders, juniors, longevity etc. (if the concept doesn't "stick")
Mathematics, finance, material science, etc. all have concepts and words in that conceptual space to define ways to solve and talk about problems. To pick one up and build upon it but have it be forgotten/not-understood has the same risk/reward as potentially choosing a short-lived technology. Sometimes choosing something complex is worth the risk, sometimes it's not.
