people have always, and will always, be stupid as fuck in any domain they dont make their life. We can handwring terminology all we like but it wont stop the mythologizing and misleading takes on the topic. Not one bit. So why not just use language that is fun and works? Worrying about what others will think due to language used is wasted mental realestate, they'll think stupid shit no matter what, same as I do about a great many topics.
To be clear, there's no shade here, just recognition of the fact that we're all stupid and policing language does little to prevent the impact this has. I strongly beleive the bitter lesson extends to policing language. let language evolve naturally and it will naturally capture the ontological conatellations it needs to, and no one will be harmed in due course, more than they'd be no matter what.
