Words are not reducible to technical statements or algorithms. But, even if they were, then by your suggestion there's not much point in talking about anything at all.
They absolutely are in the context of a technical, scientific or mathematical subject.
Like in the subject of LLMs everyone knows what a "token" or "context" means, even if they might mean different things in a different subject. Yet, nobody knows what "consciousness" means in almost any context, so it is impossible to make falsifiable statements about consciousness and LLMs.
Making falsifiable statements is the only way to have an argument, otherwise its just feelings and hunches with window dressing.
