Abstract words feel safer because they are harder to be wrong about — and they are also harder to remember, harder to picture, and easy to nod along with while understanding nothing. Ride the ladder of abstraction down to something photographable, run the picture test on a real draft, and build a term · gloss · instance that teaches a technical word instead of displaying it.
