Ideally yes but it my view its too late for that. The abuse towards Neo Advaita by traditionalists is so great that they would simply regard what you suggest as a smokescreen and rightly so:)

Better to not engage the abuse which in my view will become more and more ridiculous (even sleeping patterns come in for scrutiny:), and just continue to try and discuss the issues between people interested in mutual understanding, so that seekers may see the difference and choose what suits them.
