I'm not trying to coalesce the meaning. First - Meaning is created by how people understand words. You cannot create it, you can participate in it, but it's an emergent effect.

It's the same as how you can't centrally control economy. economy and language are emergent phenomena.

Second - being part of a category does not make everything equal. Water is a liquid, but that does not mean it's same as all other liquids, in fact, it's a very unique liquid, making life on this planet possible.
