Hello there, I'm so sorry for the late response. Thank you, Daniel, Katherand and Michael, for your explanations! I really appreciate them.

The abstract term might be clearer if you think about the "concrete" parallel: we talk about "loaded dice", meaning dice that have weights inside that "push" the dice to land on a certain number with greater frequency. In abstract terms, the "loaded" term is "pushing" the listener toward a certain opinion.

“Loaded” in this phrase means that someone is saying something either intentionally controversial or provocative, or that someone is hinting that what you are saying seems ambiguous and it’s an expression to get someone to either rethink what they’re saying, rephrase it, or perhaps it is a refusal to discuss whatever it is.

Not really. A "loaded" term comes with some quite strong associations; it is not a neutral, value-free assessment of something. You say corruption, I say entrepreneurship. You say democracy. I say disorder. You say riot. I say protest. If I can force my terms into the arena as the terms for discussion, I have already smuggled my values into the heart of the debate. You say a woman's right to choose, I say a child's right to life. You say freedom to bear arms. I say putting instruments of mass murder into the hands of madmen ... (Note: these are all just examples. My views are not necessarily intended to be clear from them!) This quote is from the source below: 'A word or phrase is "loaded" when it has a secondary, evaluative meaning in addition to its primary, descriptive meaning. When language is "loaded", it is loaded with its evaluative meaning. A loaded word is like a loaded gun, and its evaluative meaning is the bullet. . https://www.fallacyfiles.org/loadword.html p.s. Sorry for all the little typos; I hope I've corrected them all now.
