I have a shovel out back, want to borrow it?

Seriously - in operations land, "what you call something" isn’t as important
as the term’s definition being clear and common.

The only time one should fix documentation land is when trying to achieve a
clear and common understanding is had too difficult without the fix.

To quote a scholarship fund “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”  In the
same sense, I’d rather see effort spent improving operations than fixing
words.

(Not referring to -dns-terminology-, referring to worrying about the precise
definition of the “A” in AXFR.)
