Language can seem accurate... but if we assume language is precise we can go wrong just as fast also... 

Language often seems like it is naming things perfectly well but sometimes naming something at all is an error because of what it does say (and if we assume language is precise we can go wrong just as fast also...)

Reasons for such errors:

- things and people have many more attributes than their name
It / They are not just what it's name is

- More correctly names are what they have been given, and that can also depend on who gave it for it's own twist into the story or meaning of the name

- things / people are usually an ever changing variable or evolving. This includes hidden depreciation or natural wear and tear.

- things / people has many subcomponents which can be more or less relevant but not obvious unless you knowing it more inside and out

- it lack respect to look at something in short (humans for example need much more and it's disrespect to look down on people with short-depth understanding or with 0/minimal/proper study or 1st person asking)

- people feed themselves what suits them (if it's bad they look for then bad they will get)

- things / people can be objectified or over-personal by names

- Short-depth perspectives feed assumption of the on-looker - when it's much deeper in many ways (including consciousness) it can also trigger in people more problems BUT at least more truth is there... and it's also confusing- expect that! Better than shorter pretending, right?
