but DM is a word
and your word ends in nonsense
I remember David Bohm articulating that it was exceedingly difficult to express his ideas on quantum mechanics as western language was so heavily polluted with biases that any description he put forth would fall short of its intent and provide gaping holes for criticism.

He therefore spent an entire 3/4 of his book to reconstructing an effective new language so that a solid footing could be achieved before delving into his theory. In a similar way, Newton could not mathematically express his ideas coherently so he had to invent calculus to achieve it. I get therefore in principle where this philosophical argument is going, but it appears extreme. Without having to reconstruct our language so we can achieve consensus at some point, any further debate is going to be difficult. :-))

Amendment: Typo as invest = invent
