That is a poor argument, indeed. Where else in Scripture do we find such an accommodation in language? Nowhere. In fact we see just the opposite. The language of Psalm 22:16 prefigured crucifixion long before it was practiced by Rome.

I don't understand what you mean. What accommodation?
Yes, Psalms 22 tells us about the crucifixion 1000 years before the event - that is prophecy, but it didn't use the word "crucifixion", it described it.. Zechariah also tells us of what will happen in the future but he uses words that he and others of his time can understand - horses and chariots.
