I mean, this is my personal opinion and experience. Also, if you claim this is "frowned up by linguists" then a source would be appreciated.
> Well yes, because it's a broad and unquantifiable claim as well as one that's not really supported by evidence.
No. Imagine you never tasted ananas (pineapple) before in your life and now you taste it for the first time. Can you describe the flavour to someone who never tasted it, so that he can imagine the taste? Mind that I'm not taking about sweetness and acidity, just the distinct aroma.
I don't think you can. Does that mean it's just an "unquantifiable claim" that ananas has a distinct aroma? If so, even an "unquantifiable claim" can be helpful for others to understand.
Oh, and don't come with something like chemical analysis or so, since we can't really do that with the brain quite yet.
