“If I think, and therefore I am, am I just a thought?”
Whenever I see a discussion about “labels”, I always think of this…
“Why is the word “therapist” spelled the same as
“the rapist” ???
I have been in “sales” in one form or another my whole life. (most people have) There are several “key rules” to successful communication that have potential to “make you” or “break you”, particularly when conversing with a potential “client”. One of them is to never assume your client defines terms, “labels” and “acronyms” the same as you do. It is really a simple concept…I just ask for clarification. Even if I think I “know”, I ask anyway…it makes people feel important. (“intelligent”)
Anytime I am tempted to use the word "assume", I know it is time to clarify. (it appears you follow the same rule, lol)
I try to avoid using any “term” or “language” that members of a particular group seem to understand, but nobody outside of the group understands. It’s just confusing. (It is also one of the hallmarks of a “cult”, lol).
Nothing is more fuzzy to me than acronyms, titles, degrees and such. If I can’t find it in resources like this…I consider whatever it is to be questionable, and move on.

So, I am not familiar with the any "generic" or "universal" definition of FT CD.
(I am still working on the actual meaning of "OK"...)
