Yeah its such a 'asking a caveman if hes a protestant or catholic' situation for so many people. And yet when you try to explain that to people they dont want to listen! The words are coined so that must mean experience follows that in their eyes. So many people seem to feel language is a prerequisite to experience and if the experience doesnt fit a framework then it Actually Really Does- you either just havent thought about it long enough/are being difficult or the experience itself isn't correct. The more microlabeley part of the plural community is just especially bad with this.
