When a concept resists precise naming, treat that resistance
When a concept resists precise naming, treat that resistance as a diagnostic signal revealing incomplete understanding rather than a labeling problem.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Illusion of Explanatory Depth (self-assessment of understanding is unreliable until forced to articulate) and Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalizing exposes gaps in reasoning). The lesson shows naming difficulty reveals thinking gaps. This prescribes using naming as a diagnostic tool. It's actionable (treat naming difficulty as signal), general, and directly follows from axioms about metacognition.
