Words, whose employment depends on human beings, do not reveal [real] things, [they] trigger the arising of concepts according to habituation; [so] pondering their employment and establishing on that basis what is real... is nothing but a demonstration of stupidity. - Dharmakirti

I'd side with the Vedic view, I think. The use of words is not constrained in its effect to the mere rearrangement or re-articulation of habitual concepts. The use of words can permit new ways to understand -- can 'reveal' things (even if by only removing a mistaken view).
