but the concept in your mind always varies somewhat from the label it is given. sometimes your concept has more detail than the proper definiton. sometimes less
i think we both agree that Scale, for example, puts more emphasis on proper definitions than on the concepts being identified. thus the insistance that it is ALWAYS worth declaring something 'legal' or not even though there really is no reason
in my view, getting the idea across and being understood as well as understanding the other person is MORE important than utilizing the proper label or term which may or may not be known by both parties
academics are alot like post-modernists in that they insist on using external vocabularies even if they are overly complicated and not known by all parties. this is counter-productive and typically a way of just making themselves feel superior as the other doesn't know what they deem the proper term
"A rose by any other name still smells as sweet.... but good luck finding one for your sweetheart if you don't know the name people in her village refer to it by"
