It's always semantics, because that's the only way to discover exactly what the other guy means. If you don't explore that, you may agree with something and later find they actually meant something different than what you thought.

You can understand more quickly someone who's had the same formal leadership training, which is an advantage to the military to have everyone understanding quickly and correctly. However someone with different formal leadership training may not attach the same nuances, or indeed meaning as you, to the same terms.
