Why are they defending the use of specific words?

"Deceptively similar"? What planet are these people from?

I am also a Snackmaster. Friends coming over for a round of Descent: Journeys in the Dark? Great. I'll throw together some spicy/salty/sweet candied bacon bites. Or maybe bite-sized Spanakopitas. Also, here's a six pack of an unusual beer I've wanted to try.
