One of the fringe benefits of actually sitting down with legal from time
to time. They sometimes explain to us that the way we've been saying
things may not match the 'legal connotation' applied to the language.

There's no malicious intent or devious nature behind the phrasing
change. Just the result of having a legal team inform us that sometimes
"words mean things". It doesn't change the message, just how we present it.
