STS and STO is an attempt to explain and define different parts of the scale. Its a polarity and it exists. Sure the names dont sound so atractive and even a bit stupid, but its there. I agree with you in overall but i would like to add that the real world which you speak of, is nature. Some might call it god. I can totally accept a person thanking god for having another person returning his wallet to him because the person might believe that this whole reality and nature is actually god, and the person who returned the wallet is part of it. A part of nature.
So there is no difference. Its all connected. The metaphysical exists and its there. Having a difficult time to precieve it due to nature is another story. A story which also involves free will and choice.
Yes, labeling things causes division but hey, thats nature working again. There is no difference between a thinking human using his computer to post on these forums and a bacteria at the bottom of the ocean interacting with millions of other organisms. Its a net. We are a part of it.
