Only when left undefined and open to interpretation. It's okay when you clearly define it, as I've done. Did you read the OP?

Yes, but I can still create my own definition for hardcore, therefore it's open to interpretation.



The word is unavoidably vague, so yes interpretation is inevitable. This can cause disconnected interpretations which causes disconnected discussions. However, one can propose a single interpretation that we all can accept for the sake of the discussion, as I have done. I don't have a problem with using these vague words so long as they are defined. If you disagree with my definition, then we can use a different one. It doesn't really matter which definition we use, so long as we're both using the same one.
