Ok, true. In the scientific context it's good to know many definitions and know which one to apply in a given situation. But it's not that the overall opinion of a linguist as a person. It's rather than you learn not to take any of them, including your intuition, too seriously if that makes sense.

I'll put the book on my reading list! I barely do any linguistics since university and it might be fun reading again. Thanks!
