Right. These errors do make it into the view of people without any
technical knowledge though. So each of our pages has those technical
details and should have a simplified "this means" description for people
who can't understand the technical bits. The non-technical wording could
stil do with clarification in a lot of cases, just need to find which
ones are confusing and fix them.
