Fair enough, I was taught the terminology in university on a course on fault tolerance.

Personally I wish their usage was more standardized, in fact if it was I wouldn't have had to explicitly mention they're taken from IEEE 610.12-1990 and that I'm using them to split "error" into 3 separate but related ideas for clarity.

Either I made it clear in the post I didn't make up the terms so no idea what the original commenter is on about.
