Hello all
The language is a funny thing but I would surmise that the goal is being able to communicate an idea more than having a true language.
The goal is for a user to be able to install or fix it's installation.
So techies will understand what the factory reset means.
If someone is not tech savvy enough, then they will ask for direction or follow guides.
When I'm in a situation where I don't understand something it doesn't matter what it's called.
In my mind it's "succession_of_symbols".
IMHO a good documentation gives a glossary so I can have a better idea what these symbols/names/terms/expressions mean.
One who doesn't understand and "think" they can understand it just by dreaming or imagining an hypothetical meaning are fools.
A scientist will make assumptions and test them in order to find things out.
If it's an already know thing, then it's more efficient to just ask or search for the answer.
To sum things up, I don't think it needs to be changed.
But we might want to spread the word about what "Factory Reset" means, do and why.
