I've had people get visibly upset when either questioning the intent of a word they've used or when attempting to use a more specific descriptor for something they've asked me about, specifically when it's failed to accurately capture a given concept or could otherwise be ambiguous. Seems to me that it's at the heart of language and communication to think about these things, and while some may be more trite than others, I say go ahead, split those hairs and write about it. I also don't have a home lab, I have computers at home, and some random bits of gear. I don't know at what point I'd consider it a lab, maybe if it was more of a collection that was deliberately experimental, but it's not, it's just computers that have general purposes.
