Yes, this is what I was getting at. That if I don't already have well-developed meanings for all of those verbs in this context, they look like they were pulled out of thin air. They might as well be interchangeable - I don't even know which ones are supposed to be the 'good' ones and which 'bad'. So it's a subtle form of jargon, and it can't be regarded merely as plain English.
