> As you say, the use of the word "addiction" in this context has nothing to do with scientific or medical reality.

I didn’t say anything like that. I said they’re perhaps using the word in a way that is broader than it’s used in medical jargon. That’s not the same thing as saying the word is meaningless or has nothing to do with reality.
