It was me, and I'm not offended.  By putting words on a Wiki, rather
than, say, a personal blog, I feel that I'm explicitly inviting others
to be bold and modify them.

Actually, the reason why I used that term is simpler than that: I'd
just read the "smart questions" FAQ, and my brain was pre-conditioned
in that direction.

Go ahead and change it.
