That's a narrow view of the word "support." Her father doesn't support her meth addiction.

That comment was saying that technical support is the natural understanding, and that this lack of clarity makes it a weasel-word. This is especially true since there are more straightforward alternatives such as the one that was given.

original point doesn't dispute that it is a 'narrow view', however, but that they are playing on ambiguity within the wider connotations since the nominal meaning in a tech context is 'support techically' rather than 'morally','ethically', etc.
