I suppose mathemeticians would argue the same point for numbers. That words remind them of politics, and numbers are fluid, imply infinity and possibility. Just a poetry is not appreciated by everyone, neither is the mystery of math theory. The people who share these passions may be separate, but I have to agree that the way the tools are used are much the same.
