If it is used incorrectly to accuse someone of wrongful acts, it loses some of its importance.

Yes. Exactly. That's an excellent analysis and explanation. --- It's right up there with how many people "online" misuse the word genocide. By misusing specific words in that manner, it dilutes their meaning and importance.

I'm glad that you took the time to respond in such a clear and thoughtful way. For that, I thank you.
