I am not hating on the word! That is why I said "Some notes", rather than
"Opposing arguments", lol. I certainly believe in synonyms. But I am not
really sure that there is much worth in establishing them, since (as you
pointed out) there is little room for confusion, the word and concept are
both jargon-ish, and Zipf will reduce their length anyway. I will hold
off on that for now. I just wanted to put some commentary out there.
(I still do not see the examples, but I now suspect that it is just me.)
