Findability

Whether people can find the thing.

Definition

The ease with which information can be located, whether by navigation, search or external referral.

Craft convention. True because the industry converged on it. Breaking it costs familiarity, not correctness.

In plain language

Each link says what the connection is, so you can tell a principle from an alternative from a thing people mix this up with.
