disciplines are remarkably self-functioning within their sphere and the really old ones need little in the way of new jargon to talk about what they already deal with. what you are asking is the equivalent of rewriting legal common law history with modern human resources vocabulary. they are both rather self-sufficient disciplines with no real need for the newer to bleed its modern terminology into the older. it yields no net improvement.
