Semantics play a vital role in how we interpret the world - NLP etc show us this all to clearly.

And in politics - Semantics is everything

NLP, had to look that up.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming

if this is what you meant I agree, The whole world of politics is based on semantics. The art of saying one thing while meaning something else. Also the ability to answer a question that wasn't asked rather than answer the one that was.

The guy has a definition of "addiction" which isn't the same as that in the dictionaries, which seems pretty stupid to me.

Tis the definition used within Addiction Counselling - rather than the dictionary
