I accept that criticism, I'll be more careful with labels. I've been using "exploitation" for so long in the ML sense of "exploitation vs exploration" that I forgot it can have negative overtones. Or maybe I ignored those overtones because of personal bias.

Definition 2 of exploitation: "the action of making use of and benefiting from resources."

Definition 1: "the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work.".

I don't like being accused of bad faith though, I do put a lot of effort into strong-manning positions I disagree with.
