That's an interesting way to conceptualize it. There seems to be a difference in the connection between ideas and their labels too.

Just from my perception. It seems like people see ideas as indistinguishable in inextricable from their labels or the terms used to describe them. So when a term (like science) can mean a few different things, they may inextricably conflate all the ideas into one.
