I'm not sure what the problem is. I've refactored methods and functions all the time to try and improve clarity. Removing words, changing meaning so that people who read it grok it. I don't have a problem with changing terms. But people take a hard-line ideological stance against it because they perceive change as being weak or a slippery slope or something.

It is because of the actor really. Conceptually their strategy is "if they give an inch take a mile and keep on taking" while using every bit to beat them with it over every little petty issue. The way to shut them down is to tell them to take a hike from the start to deny any leverage. Reconsider if they have anything worthy of consideration. Part of effecfive communication is not looking like a bad actor with an approach.
