Well, we might rather say that the usefulness of the word is disputed. I don't think anyone disputes that I may feel that my experience of eating some soup might be improved by adding some salt, and that (assuming we are concerned only with my pleasure and not with my health!) it would be incorrect of you to assert that I am incorrect in saying that I should prefer the taste of the soup with more salt.
