I have no horse in this race at all. But to suggest (as the above quote suggests to me - I hope I'm misreading!) that words have no power, or choice of words doesn't matter, is naive in the extreme.

Oh yes, words have power. But they are not inherently right or wrong.

It is how they are used that makes them.
