However, many concepts in modern Chinese

While there may not be a one-to-one mapping of word,
character, and concept every time, there are many words
and concepts which can be given (and commonly given)
in a single character. Forcing those to use multiple characters
to get around a policy limitation may introduce, rather than reduce confusion.
Why would we want to insist on that?
