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.
