A lot of them are really awkwardly coined too, like multiple words that have one letter off of another word that make them easy to confuse. If the word has to be searched every time you are exposed to it to be sure you have the right idea of what the person means, its probably not the best word design to be basing the community on.
Yeah, like any effort to try to properly explain origin theories we have at this point is going to involve at least three paragraphs of 'can we really know anything?' musing so its not a 'quick label' sort of thing. Sure theres 'Origin Agnostic' as an option, but thats tied up with that one system uuuuh Panopticon/Cassandra Oakdown so it makes it hard to use it without that shadow over it.
It just... doesnt seem like information thats useful in so many circumstances for describing a system in comparison to describing the actual current experience. People would get a better idea of our system if we talked about practically *anything else* besides origin.
