Because what is actually happening is that it is the language that is being policed. It does not matter what meaning is applied behind the words we use, it is one word that has been declared out of bounds (lest it mean what some fear it to mean, even though in nromal parlance - among us particularly - it doesn't mean what they fear it to mean). Therefore if the issue is the word, then surely a different word (and one can arguably say if a word is constructed with different letters, it is a different word) it shouldn't be an issue anymore.
I'm just pointing out the logic behind language policing. For example if language police ban the word "Phil", surely we can still use the word "fill". If they ban "fax", surely it doesn't mean "facts" is banned too.
