I don't understand what you mean by "(non)constructive". Could you 
clarify? What tests do you have to determine whether a word is 
constructive or not? And why avoid them? What do you do if you are 
building an ontology for a pharmaceutical company that has introduced 
a property called "lethal dose" for a variety of drugs? Do you tell 
them they have to start using a different word?  (02)

It certainly doesn't seem to me to be an idiosyncrasy that someone 
who has to build ontologies in real world domains from existing 
terminology can live with.  (04)
