This is insightful.

Ran into this sort of thing at a .gov during audits for systems accreditation in 200x. I made the mistake of using 'mitigation' in my documentation and opened up a can of worms with the contracted auditing firm. They should have provided a glossary of weasel words.

Took twice as long to get the system accredited because of a common sense initial approach.
