Tim.
I'm happy to hear that you liked the revisions I made, several of which
were suggested by Chris.
However, I maintain that the term "adverse" has connotations that you
may not intend, but a significant proportion of readers will pick up
on. The first synonym on dictionary.com is actually 'hostile', and the
oxford thesaurus includes 'hostile' and 'antagonistic' for 'adverse'
in relation to a human response.
Yes, the first synonym provided by that website is "hostile" but that
term does not appear in the definition Other online dictionary
definitions include: preventing success or development, harmful,
unfavorable, opposed to one's interest, causing harm ...
In the case of an attack, hostile is appropriate. In the case of an
error or an action dictated by contract, hostile is not appropriate. But
I think the text in the intro and abstract makes it clear which is which.
This is why I, and others, suggested weaker terms. I still think "unwanted" can be used. I have no
issue with "anomalous". But "adverse" I cannot support.
And I've explained why "unwanted" and "anomalous" are terms I cannot
support.
Steve
