Just because the horizon exists doesn't mean every path toward it is equal in value. Logical fallacy aside, you seem to agree that improvement as a species is a worthy goal, and maybe even a personal obligation to promote such.

Language works a lot of ways. Don't let laziness and cognitive ambivalence hold the reins of linguistic morphology.

Nope I don't agree. Language has meaning to people, and has no obligation to past meanings or logic. If it did then we wouldn't have been able to reclaim the use of the word gay which has changed meanings multiple times just in my lifetime.

in what way is calling water wet laziness or cognitive ambivalence? it’s not like wetness is something that just exists in the world prior to our construction of it

I'm sorry, did you just imply that wetness depends on observation to exist?
