Harumph. It may be an established and well-defined term, and your point is
valid, but "conventional" and "well-understood" are arguable. Sure, the
math PhDs use that term, but reg'lar folks don't.

However, it would have behooved IBM to define and use it. Or maybe the
people who wrote that don't know it...
