You're just describing any change in linguistic usage over time. Confusion exists during periods of differing usage, it's nothing particularly special in this case.

Well, yes. I’m answering the question “…why not respect it?” That confusion is why. Not everyone is going to respect a view that they consider illogical or find outright regressive.

It might not be anything particularly special to you, but as I mentioned down the thread, having a mutual understanding of who belongs to these classes, such as when it comes to prisons, has wider societal implications.
