A philosopher is no ordsprog

A philosopher is, no doubt, entitled to examine even those distinctions that are to be found in the structure of all languages... in that case, such a distinction may be imputed to a vulgar error, which ought to be corrected in philosophy.

Hard distinctions make bad philosophy.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; / But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; / Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
