People should be much more careful when using terms. Otherwise you end up with people like the one who I met who thinks that wearing a Kippah is borderline Yeihareg V’al Ya’avor. When I called him crazy he proceeded to give me a whole long Shpiel about why Kippah is so special that we can’t make a Bracha on it. He honestly thought wearing a Kippah is an Asei D’Oraisa. When you lump everything together under the umbrella of “Mitzvah” you overvalue some things and devalue everything else.
