I don't think it's as bad as all that. Just because a "group" can't agree
on a vocabulary does not mean that any person in the group does not possess
his/her own advantageous vocabulary which works for the individual. And,
I doubt greatly that the "list" will come up with any agreed upon
vocabulary; we disagree too much.
