Okay, so then we need to understand ta little more about what you mean. Labels are labels. They carry meaning of some sort. It can be a politicized meaning, or simp,y to shorthand a concept that is commonly understood.

In order to have a discussion, I would need to know a little more about why you feel labels are not good specifically the use of the word Ueshiba. Especially since you have just stated that you are not speaking from the same context that Mark Murray does.
You have virtually answered your own question.

It does politicize and it does imply 'superior'.both.

A concept that is commonly understood? I don't know any such concept.

Shorthand within a discussion for that short timeframe is fine.
