I disagree. We use words to communicate.

I would say these are exceedingly clear concepts.
Equal protection of the law: The right of all persons to have the same access to the law and courts, and to be treated equally by the law and courts, both in procedures and in the substance of the law. It is akin to the right to due process of law, but in particular applies to equal treatment as an element of fundamental fairness.
