I got to wondering about the language problem, and started reading and
reflecting. At risk of being boring about this, the word "chemical" is a
very interesting word and legitimately, it seems, means differing things to
different people. One example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemicalhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical
To those educated in the arts, the word has a different spin, and tends to
refer to things that are synthesized or isolated from a "natural" object.
Check out the dictionaries. They have a hard time with this word: A
typical dictionary defines "chemical" in terms of "chemistry". See
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/chemical and
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/en%3Achemistry,
