I don't think that's a fair argument. The word exists. Why does it exist? Isn't it natural to ask questions about why we agree on certain labels? What purpose do they serve? I find myself thinking about this a lot, especially because the word is thrown around so liberally on the Internet. It's not productive to question the nature of words? Kierkegaard said something like, "to label me is to negate me." To be fair, I only know that quote from Wayne's World, but I think it applies nonetheless.
