I get what you are saying; ultimately is it us that brings "life" to the construction. However, when a young boy or girl is taught from the very beginning that his/her "name" is 'First Middle Last' and the "birth certificate" presented to him/her shows that "name" as "proof" of what was taught, then the '12-year old boy' has been deceived into using those constructions in a manner which mostly benefits the facilitator of the deceit rather than the 12-year old boy's best interests. The evidence of that engrained and intentional false conditioning and deceit is the length of time it took you to realize that - "decades later".
