I don’t think most people can. If you don’t like the connotations of existing terms, I think you need to come up with new terms and they can’t be too verbose or people won’t use them.
Yes, I agree that this is an impractical phrase substitution for “optimal.” I meant to be listing “ways you can think about alignment more precisely” and then also “I wish we had better names for actual communication.” Maybe I should have made more explicit note of this earlier in the essay.
EDIT: I now see that you seem to think this is also an impractical thought substitution. I disagree with that, but can’t speak for “most” people.
