The thought is simply that the process of iconifying anything (words, people, companies) inherently decouples the item from the original idea behind it. This introduces a dangerous implication wherein the icon can then be re-appropriated in support of literally any idea, including the antithesis of the original idea this thing was supposed to represent.
Everything from "Disruptive Technology" to "Christian" to "ObamaCare" to "Terrorist" (feel free to replace the last with Witch, Homosexual, Communist, or an assortment of derogatory racial slurs, depending the era you're discussing) is subject to this sort of propagandizing via the iconifying process.
Scary stuff, and very important to notice and discuss now, before "Freedom of Speech" becomes simply another of the icons.

In other words, it's the same reason you're pushed back into your seat when you accelerate, and slam your head into the dashboard and spill hot coffee in your lap when you lock up the breaks.
“I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.”
I just wanted to point out for those who were as inspired by this "Thomas Jefferson" quote as I was, that it was not actually TJ who said this, but a man named Coleman Cox [1].
