I appreciate the time and effort you spent on this, but it feels more like an argument against words than it does against concepts.

Colloquially, if I say "a volcano erupted" I'm not being inaccurate, even if it was the magma chamber that erupted; and if I say "Mt. St. Helens erupted", everyone knows what I'm talking about even if the original name isn't properly preserved or respected.

However, I find downvotes distressing so I'm abandoning this thread, and I shall not downvote you just because I disagree. I hope you have a lovely day. :)

That's good feedback, thank you. I did do both and I think it muddled the message a bit.

It was also not the best example, but I tried lol. Have a lovely day!
