I don't see any conflict either.  When I talk about John to my mother, she
knows whom I mean.  when I talk about John to my soccer team, they know whom
I mean (at least until a) I'll get a baby brother also named John or b) we
recruit another player named John).

And when I talk to my ARPA-host, I expect it to know which other host I mean
when I try to send mail to rick@seismo .... I don't think that't so much to
ask.
