Either what you wrote above is incoherent, or you're using jargon I'm not familiar with. Either way, I can't figure out what you're trying to say or how it's supposed to relate to the discussion. Could you please clarify?
Attempted translation: Names can mean exactly jack shit. You could call a mass genocide an 'operation' if you wanted, just like you can label every living thing 'a jumble of particles that reproduces'.
