| Feb 1, 2018 at 8:57 | comment | added | Simon Henry | @MikeShulman : I do prefer "descriptive" name over "mathematician" name in general, but in this specific case one can also argue that the source of the confusion was calling them 'idempotent'. This is a lax version of a property which happens to be equivalent to idempotent but in a non trivial way. So I'm not entirely sure "lax idempotent" is the best choice, but I don't have a good alternative. | |
