I think you'll have even less luck than I will with 'real' and 'reality'. I
tried to aid my case by offering substitute locutions that I believe can be
used with no loss in conveying the notion one is entertaining, and with the
benefit of reducing confusion.   Any thoughts of comparably helpful
substitutes for
'aesthetic(s)', 'beauty', and 'ugly'? They'd be much harder to replace, I
suspect.
