Thanks, Vincent. I tend to agree with your synopsis, as my experience is that marketers (in particular) are not overly concerned with definition nor theory — and will simply use tools to their immediate need/objective. With that said, I think that puts the onus on Behavioral Science practitioners to do our best to bring some consistency to the field (in our terminology. standards, etc.), even if we can’t always control outcomes.
