(without becoming a pomo) In a way yes, but in another way no. Yes it is not sufficient to oppose traditional meanings by embracing their opposites, for the reasons you give. But it is indeed necessary to oppose traditional meanings insofar as they are taken as indicative of what Being primarily is, and of how beings primarily present themselves. Heidegger opposes traditional meanings in that way.
