We might end up in a situation in which the common use of the word has a different meaning from the scientific use. Like the word "theory".
Edit update:
Then again, for nouns like "woman", we already kinda do. To the question "are trans women women" the answer "in a social sense it's possible, but in the literal sense no" is perfectly sensible.
