Of course you'll always get pushback on this from the folk you disagree with. They'll point out correctly that meaning isn't inherent to the words but is rather about usage.
Yet there's a closely related point I wish was made more often: good communication needs words to be precise and consistent! So it's totally appropriate to point out the"things words mean", or ought to mean, if we're to really communicate.
