Whenever You start talking about Labels and their Use, You inevitably stumble upon the Fact that, at the End of Day, It's all arbitrary.

Words mean different Things to different People, They change meaning over Time, their Meaning can change with Context and They can be easily misinterpreted.

Language is just simply not up to the Task of describing the real World.

Labels are more sustainable to This than other Words because You are condensing alot of Information into small Packages.

The more Information in a Label, the more Room there is for Misunderstanding and Misinterpretation.

That's the Price that comes with the Convenience and Simplicity that Labels offer.

The Questions is whether or not that Trade-off is worth It.
