Capitulation is a bad counterpropaganda tactic, especially with terms that have well defined domain specific meanings.

Note that the OP uses "systemic rejection", while the paper does reference bias, it is in the precise meaning of the word.[0] And this is not targeted at the general public.

You may want to look into the 1990 GOPAC handout "Language: A Key Mechanism of Control" to understand why some groups would simply just weaponize any term that was substituted. Academic papers need to error on being precise, to be effective, not focused on handling the general public with kids gloves IMHO.

Edited to add, listen to Lee Atwater's 1981 Interview on the Southern Strategy for even more context.
