Thanks for the added clarity here! And you're right, the law does have an interesting approach to language, but ultimately " letter of the law and not the spirit" is the most vital issue from which others spring.
I could write another 10,000 words on language-reflecting-thought, evolving meanings, and the power of labels, but at least I touched on it here: Why No One Reads What You Write: A Masterclass In Communication (linking it in case anyone is following our discussion and wants to dig deeper.)
As always, thanks for a great chat! 🙏
