Of course you throw out the details when you choose a word. The same happens when you choose any other word. The same argument seems to chasten the use of a word "tiger" when describing a tiger, since that throws away an exact probability estimate of the apparition being a tiger.
That's a problem that's very difficult to avoid. But the more general case, which I am discussing here, is often easy to avoid.
