Hello Robert,

I found your article very interesting and well argued, especially in the way you address the use of the term “addiction” in the current debate.

From my perspective, one aspect that could further strengthen your argument is the etymological evolution of the word “addiction.” Adding that perspective —from its origin in addictus to its modern usage— could help highlight how its semantic weight has shifted and shaped public perception.

If you don’t mind, I would like to publish a brief synthesis of your article incorporating this etymological angle, while fully respecting and citing your work.

Thank you for contributing such a necessary reflection.
