I get the impression you underestimate the importance of such trivial (to fix) defects.
The "why" questions may hide plenty of depth. Why did you choose this label? If you answer with etymology, then etymology must be for you the most important not-obvious-to-the-reader consideration about this decision, singling it out from all the other reasonable options. Otherwise, why would you give this particular detail of the process of reaching the decision? (Most likely, because of rationalization-causing bias, but then it's not the real answer to the "why" question.)
I concede. The name is changed to "pitch". HT loqi who suggested the name + everyone else who gave feedback.
I'm open to your suggestion that I've underestimated its importance. What's your alternative suggestion then? (I elaborated below in my reply to Jack on the issues with naming.)
