Well, part of the semantic nuance is that we don’t care as much about the coherence theorems that do exist if they will fail to apply to current and future machines
The correct response to learning that some theorems do not apply as much to reality as you thought, surely mustn’t be to change language so as to deny those theorems’ existence. Insofar as this is what’s going on, these are pretty bad norms of language in my opinion.

I am not defending the language of the OP’s title, I am defending the content of the post.
