This has nothing to do with dogma.

You ask to change the language. A considerable change by any standards,
requiring persuasive arguments, and your arguments for this change are simply 
not persuading enough.

Changing the language so you can get your list of methods is an ad-hoc
solution to a (from our point of view) non-problem.

There are (or will be) other solutions to your particular problem, 
making such a change simply unnecessary.

We can argue about the manner in which Sven closed the discussion, 
but that's a matter of style, not dogma.
