Rule of thumb with vague terminology: if the words or concepts used in any arbitrary argument are vague - said argument is often full of bullshit.

And for the smart asses out there: yes I know that the above argument is itself vague. It's an example of a self-referential heuristic like Hofstader's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstadters_law).
