> Do you want them to not use the term even when they define the term?

Yes, I do. I think it's a needlessly confusing term to use in stuff intended for public consumption.

For a similar example of the issue, I often get radiology reports in my healthcare provider's portal. My dad is a radiologist and they're still quite scary/bewildering to read - they frequently use various terms of art for "looks fine and normal" that sound terrifying.

That was all fine when the intended audience was other doctors, but these days I can pull them up myself. I at least know enough to not freak out and ask my dad; many don't.

I don't want to see NBC/BBC/NYT articles using the term, and that means being careful with the sources from which they receive their info.
