...In the same sense that not calling a spade a spade ends up channeling everyone else's energies away from dealing with a spade problem, and into needless quibbling on defintions to provide an aggressor someone might sympathize with some "intellectual cover"?

Is that what you mean by invites "nuanced" discussion?

Because what you're coaching to have happen is not even "nuanced". It's just intellectual judo. If it weren't you wouldn't be refusing to deal with it as is.

Sorry, you can't redefine every word and have useful discussions with people. If you think using the correct terms for things so people can have a better understanding of what you are talking about is "intellectual judo", I don't know what to say.
