I don’t understand how you’ve reached that conclusion.
What I was saying is that I have more of an issue with the knee-jerk “languages evolve” response than I have with any particular instance of a language actually evolving.
The reason for this is that it has become another thought-terminating cliché which greatly oversimplifies things but is nevertheless trotted out as if it is the be-all and end-all of linguistics. It isn’t. Particularly with politicised language.
