You really understood the essence of my question. I appreciate that. I, too, believe linguistic integrity to be very important, although, as you allude to, it is often difficult to achieve.
I like your point about trying to maintain integrity while also not entirely abandoning aspirational terminology because it's not perfect. This is something I hadn't considered, and your reply clearly articulates the reasons why this might be so. I will keep this in mind.
Further, you mentioned "all linguistic models reduce complexity—the art is to do so without self-deception." I absolutely agree. And, for me, it is an art that takes lots of conscious practice.
Again, thank you for your ideas.
Lastly, as a writer, I greatly appreciate your awareness and use of the M-dash (—). 🤓😉
