Concept ACK, The only way we can hope to have productive discussion is to minimize the amount of effort spent in miscommunication especially that which arises from unclear terminology. Which exact words refer to which meanings is somewhat arbitrary, (look at math, particularly abstract math), but what matters is that there is precision in their use to whatever degree is possible. Having a document of shared terminology helps us communicate with one another and speeds up the process of coming to social consensus on issues.
