Agreed, philosophy is often constrained by language. I do think however that what matters is what one is pointing to with said language, more than the words themselves. Sometimes it feels like in philosophy it is for many philosophers more important to speak the right language than to advance their point.
What I mean when I say they're mutually exclusive is simply that one proposes that there is no such thing as objectively correct or incorrect actions. In other words: there are no mistakes...
...And the other assumes that mistakes can be made. The term misallocation is pointing to wrongful or sub-optimal action(s).
So it's true that maybe what one means when they use these phrases might be something else, but I haven't gotten that sense when discussing this with Austrians.
