Again, you're being tautological, repeating your terms rather than defining
them.

In my book, "a major effect on the usability of a package" means I can't do
what I want (easily enough). The case here -- "I told the program something
and it forgot it" -- is data loss.
Your answers above indicate that "easy recreatability" does not make something
"not data loss"; and yet this case is not data loss because it is just "easily
recreatable bits". The only interpretation I find consistent with that is
"single bits are not data" -- which makes no sense to me.
Thanks for your patience,
Shai.
