No no no. Recognizing this stuff as BS is about the best anyone can do. These aren’t well defined abstractions, they’re ritual incantations. Discomfort with them, to the point of revulsion, is a sign of a healthy mind.
They’re giving you all these definitions. Is there anything you’re supposed to do with them, besides chant them back on a test?
I engage my fiction / roleplaying modules to deal with it. “Okay, we’re in a magical world where auras are real, people are energy patterns, and magic powers can heal them but only through technological interventions. How will my Level 2 Nurse character deal with Condition C? Let’s see what I have in my inventory...”
I just had a momentary fantasy about someone designing a video game like that as a teaching device for nursing school… Would be epic and I would never forget anything I learned.
Ya. I don’t do well with abstract definitions.

I was thinking a similar thing, only it was visualizing the IRS web site as if it were Quirrell humming.
