Just want to chime in to defend the meaningfulness-usefulness distinction. I could start using the word 'conscious' to mean 'that which is KnaveOfAllTrades', and it would be meaningful and relate to reality well. But it would not necessarily be useful. Slurs also relate to reality reasonably well but are not necessarily useful.
