Pronouns are profoundly deceptive, not truthful.
When the disingenuous are presented with a pronoun they rather take it as an open opportunity to deliberately misinterpret.
If I say that "this is that" or that "that is not this", it may be as absolutly true as I want it to be to me, but it would not be wise or polite to expect to mean as much to you.
My wife annoys with this on a daily basis, the use of pronouns to refer to whatever she had in her head but which is yet to require a five minute interrogation to catch up with what whatever she thought she was on about.
"Pattern-recognition is a throwing away of information.
Any device that can lose information can generalize."
---(W Ross Ashby)
For as far as I am then concerned, for instance, "God" is the ulitimate pronoun, to the extent that it takes forever and a day to work out what exactly the word would mean, blessed with a Capital Letter or otherwise.
