Pretty much I'd say. Several presidents and founding fathers seem to meet this description. Even in his time Washington was seen as the unimpeachable spiritual father of the nation.

So what's the difference with the terminology?

By the time you do all that it would be better just to pull them up and relay them all with a proper base.
Or just don't worry about it.

Probably the easiest aesthetically pleasing option would be to screw some 6-10mm board over the hearth and put new tiles on it. That should make up the difference to your new floor and leave a similar raised tile hearth that you can put some trim around to cover the gap

So the Roman Catholic priest taught you all about the Chinese gods? Cool.
Your explanation sounds almost perfectly Roman Catholic and you're even arguing with the Chinese people who are telling you otherwise.
