Actually, that's the "forbidden terms" theory.  Both suggest that you remove all occurrences of the term where the PI declaration suggest you need to.  However, the "white out" theory suggests that you can put them back in where you can find similar usages from other sources.

Also, the "forbidden terms" theory, if properly employed, need not be so overbroad.  It could say, "The spell names included in this volume are declared as PI insofar as those names are attached to the spell as titles of those spells, or insofar as they are used to refer directly or indirectly to those spells.  All other usages of words that happen to appear in spell names are permissible, as such terms in any other context shall be construed to be OGC."
