Not necessarily!

We shouldn't forget that most of the time, most people start at the "generic" level and work towards the "specific". This is a legitimate process of learning, and shouldn't be arbitrarily discouraged by esoteric discussions on semantics. I imagine, Ganesh, there was a time where you were aware of the term shaman but as yet unaware of the term curandero?

Let's allow others to make similar discoveries, in their own time, lest we be accused of elitism.
