Cognitionism!

Yeah, it's silly. I think it's not too unlike calling everything "hacking." I "hacked" my eyesight by looking out the window for a minute at the end of every chapter, etc. I moved more and lost weight, brilliant body "hack."

We like to use language to make concepts more or less appealing, and assign them ethical value, even if it's incorrect, or impossible.

I hate this kind of thing. Hack should almost always mean subverting a system IMHO, except for less common definitions of the word (hack up, MIT hacking).
