Some other vague concepts people disagree on: 'cause,' 'intelligence,' 'mental state,' and so on.
I am a little suspicious of projects to 'exorcise' vague concepts from scientific discourse. I think scientists are engaged in a healthy enough enterprise that eventually they will be able to sort out the uselessly vague concepts from the 'vague because they haven't been adequately understood and defined yet'.
