I honestly think that precision is speaking or writing, in word usage, in using the precise, specific words that describe or explain, that those things really matter.

I can also hope (no doubt as futile a hope as has ever been hoped) that at least one person will read my post and start using those words correctly.

So yeah, words matter. What they mean and how they are used matter.
