I think that is precisely why those two words were chosen, and why the others were not.
Does that make sense?

That does make sense. Thank you for your advice on that, we will definitely include that in our restructure. However, and I may be naive for saying so, people also assign meanings to words and ideals. We could all crack open a Websters dictionary and find the definition but I think it would have much less of an impact on those who are not initiated in the culture of FIRST.
