That's kinda another reason not to delve into the details too deeply. I think you wanted to talk about the "writeback process" as a thing and not really about "ETRACK, EBLOCK and EWB" per se. Writing back an SGX page is the problem. The names of the three instructions that implement the writeback or that there _are_ even three of them isn't super relevant.
