@freemo @timorl Most art forms are based on words with large semantic range. So is banter and many other forms of communication. I think language really needs both very well defined terms and vague ones. Sometimes efficiency is not the most important.
But as you say, sometimes large semantic range is used to win an argument or because of ignorance. I believe that's called "being a dickhead".
