I understand that some of these words have gismu that mean
(essentially) the same thing, like brito.  Yet the gismu
were created with one algorithm as well.  Will you help me
understand how your reasoning applies here?

If I reject brito must I reject all of the gismu?  Conversely,
if I reject whatever word means roughly the same thing as brito
in this word set, must I reject all of the words in this word
set? 

I don't understand how your argument for regularity applies for
other "regular" sets of words, particularly when there is an
apparent conflict.

To be clear, I'm curious about your request to have all of these
words treated as a unit/special case, not about the words
themselves.  (That conversation was had creating them.)  In the far
future, if, say, we discover that gugde'usu is a very, very terrible
word (let's pretend that in that country's language it sounds
uncomfortably similar to baby raping), do we retroactively rescind
all of these words?  Do we tell users of that word that this sound
does not mean what they think it means?  Do we let the future deal
with the future's problems?  Is "being created by one algorithm" a
sufficient reason to create a block of words?  If so, is it a
sufficient reason to rescind/remove/destroy a block of words?  Are
you willing to stand behind the removal of all of these words for
the same reason you're stating we should stand behind creating
them?
