    They’re just using the terminology that’s widespread in the field. In a sense, the paper’s purpose is to prove that this terminology is unsuitable.

      I understand that people in this “field” regularly use pseudo-scientific language (I actually deleted that part of my comment).

      But the terminology has never been suitable so it shouldn’t be used in the first place. It pre-supposes the hypothesis that they’re supposedly “disproving”. They’re feeding into the grift because that’s what the field is. That’s how they all get paid the big bucks.
