As usual, the neophytes want to own the language. A .223 would fit the military definition of "medium-energy", along with the Russian "short .30" used in AK-47s. "High-power" begins with something like a .30-'06 and goes up to a rhino-killer like a .416 Rigby. Some military snipers use a .50 BMG round. I don't know what you would call that.
I have a hand-me-down Winchester model 1886 chambered in .45-70 Government. The round is about the size and shape of the huge Crayola crayons we used to have in school, larger than your finger. Everybody moans about the .223 being a deadly cartridge. The .45-70 was used to take down bison and grizzly bears.
That physician did, as did the people who didn't like me criticizing the use of those words when referring to an AR-15.
Turns out, people are willing to abandon all the arguments they used to use at a time when convenient and it's vexing.
