I guess that for some LW jargon there already are precise terms, but for other LW jargon there are not. Or sometimes there is a term that means something similar, but can also be misleading. Still, it could be good to reduce the unnecessary jargon.
How to do it? Perhaps by making this a separate topic—find the equivalents to LW jargon, disuss whether they really mean the same thing, and if yes, propose using the traditional expression.
What I am saying here is that (1) merely saying “there are precise terms” is not helpful without specific examples, and (2) each term should be discussed, because it may seem like the same thing to one person, but another person may find a difference.
There are already precise terms for most of the concepts LW discusses. It’s that LW uses its own jargon.
I don’t believe you, for most part when there is already a precise term we just use that term already. For most LW jargon it is far more likely that you are confused about the concepts and propose using a wrong term than that there are already precise terms that have the same meaning.
That said, I agree that in areas where a professional community has a technical term for a concept and LW has a different technical term for that concept, replacing LW’s term with the professional community’s term is probably a good move.

State three examples?
