“practical” means “in practice,” in other words in the actual attempt to do a thing.
so a practical concern is a problem or issue that isn’t about the idea behind a thing, or any kind of theory. it’s a problem or issue related to actually DOING something.
so like, as an example, say i want to drive my car 200 miles per hour. there are moral and legal concerns about doing that, but they can’t stop me from actually doing it if i want to.
the PRACTICAL concern is that my car won’t actually go that fast. in practice, even if i wanted to, i could not do it.
