And no need to invent precise terms for every different failure mode.

Or, how I now and then deal with discussions where special words are used:

Person: I think FOO is the best there is!

Me: Can you say the same sentence again, without the use of the word "FOO"?

Person: Hmm....[some good explanation which makes me understand what the person 
meant with the term FOO in *this* context of *this* discussion]

I.e. trying to compile explanatory text into single words is in most cases 
impossible. The question is how useful it is? Sometimes maybe non-precise 
language is needed to ensure people use more words.

"Broadband" anyone?
