Yes, and it appears that two schools of language have arisen in order to focus on two useful ends - one for engineering problems and one for existential problems. If we use either 'tool' for the other job it will fail, but both are valid for the tasks they have been shaped for. You don't build a bridge out of poetry but neither do you use formal logic to create meaningful metaphor.
