I couldn't, frankly, care less, about how you use the word "gestalt," given it's an esoteric word w/o fine grained encoded meaning for many speakers. If one combs through this ridiculous, but at times interesting, thread, you will not find a single instance of me policing usage.
Agree, the study of language and how it works takes analysis and I'm happy to defer to the hard-won knowledge of experts. But language is also something almost all humans use -- and as a writer I think my job is to attend that common usage.
