You don't care that we use words correctly? What about good and bad? Should they be treated as having variable meanings? I am not exaggerating: language must be clear or it must be replaced with at least different vocabulary.

You have stated that you believe that vocational (shop) classes are some of the best. Do you now believe that their technical terms need have no clear meaning?
