Sure, I can see that.

Using the language with people that concentrates both of our attention on our actual goals is an example of what I mean by pragmatism.

I mean, if someone wants to discuss ontology and epistemology, that's cool, I'll do that too.
But I'm fairly confident that's usually not what's going on.
