This would suggest that we are not simply using the wrong dictionaries, but in fact, learning to deploy language inaptly from grade school onward. Students are examined on definitional understanding rather than the "hues" to which the author alludes. Command of language would necessarily include details of how one word is subtly different from another.

How should our system of teaching language be altered?

The system of school is to create a passable drone to do as they are told.

To find color in the world you have find it yourself it can’t be taught.
