Have you not heard that yours is not the only scholarly community? To speak as though there is only one, or that all have the same needs as yours, seems a bit arrogant.
Sadly, the hegemonist view is not restricted among scholars to these semeticists; in systematic biology, a group wanted to adapt the basic classification scheme of organisms to better fit current science. They were resisted, and began constructing their own classification scheme. The hegemonists who had resisted their making the classical scheme useful for their needs have resisted even more their creation of a new scheme. Sadly, "my way or the highway" has always been too common in academia.
