The '''Develop'''ment '''term'''s describe the highly technical and political process by which [[Consumerium:priority]] is set. The terms used must be able to make both [[ontological distinction]]s and [[operational distinction]]s central to the project, and terms that confuse these distinctions must be rejected. Obviously, this is true in [[source code]] where detailed distinctions will cause you to succeed or fail. But it is also just as true when you [[specify]]: For instance, a [[worn device]] must be called that and not a [[mobile device]], since the latter term might include things that are not regularly worn on the body, like a [[vehicle]], and not taken into [[retail]] with you. Accordingly supporting a [[car phone]], which is "mobile", doesn't deliver [[Consumerium buying signal]], and would be totally useless for our purposes. Likewise a [[healthy buying infrastructure]] has plenty of requirements that may or may not include relying on a [[healthy signal infrastructure]] underneath. So don't use these terms interchangeably, it creates confusion. Learn the difference and link to the appropriate page.
